<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Cries of "free the refugees" and "refugees are welcome here" echoed as 1000 to 1500 people called for Australia to end its policy of offshore detention and accept people sent to Manus Island and Nauru.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Haidari, a Hazara man who fled Afghanistan, told the crowd gathered in Garema Place that he had lost his father, brother and friends to persecution and that he was in danger every day.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He began a journey through India, Malaysia and Indonesia, eventually arriving on Christmas Island in 2012 speaking little English. On a <b>boat</b> he described as "broken", with no food and scant water, his five-day journey to Australia had him fearing for his life.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I was counting my life every moment, when my life would end without seeing my family again," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While many <b>asylum</b> seekers went to Manus Island and Nauru, Mr Haidari was sent to Tasmania and eventually granted a bridging visa. Later, another visa brought him to Canberra, where he works at ANU.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Protesters began the rally with a minute's silence for 32-year-old Tamil man Rajeev Rajendran, who died last week apparently by suicide after experiencing mental illness. He was the sixth <b>asylum</b> seeker to die there under Australia's <b>asylum</b> seeker policy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Doctors, unions, church groups and members of the ACT's Hazara community were among people marching against the policy ahead of the closure of Manus Island's regional processing centre.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Protest organiser John Minns said Australia should accept refugees who were sent to the island, where many are reported to fear for their safety if they move from the centre.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"This issues goes on and on because the policy keeps on creating havoc with these people," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"People are clearly not going to be able to settle into Papua New Guinea."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After Rajendran's death was met with no government comment, Dr Minns said it was extraordinary that <b>refugee</b> deaths had become the norm.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We've been trying to make the government understand that these kinds of tragedies are not only predictable, but inevitable."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dickson's Merryn Byrne said she marched for human rights.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"People fleeing persecution shouldn't be forced to endure more horrors," she said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We should have some empathy for people fleeing war."</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We've just seen a winter so dry that wheat seeds planted failed to sprout, and canola crops failed to ripen. You cannot expect rainfall to just happen on land bare of forests. Trees and forests cool our continent and provide rainfall that's mostly reliable, but we've cleared our forests over 229 years to the point where Oz is 92 per cent deforested, or thereabouts, with much of our forest remnants 'thinned for grazing'.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Trees are solar-powered evaporative air-conditioners, as when water passes out through leaves and evaporates the surrounding air is cooled, just as water evaporating off our skin is cooling. Tar, cement, paving and car exhaust do not cool us.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For all we know, on the east coast we could be now part way into a five-year drought, as recently happened to Californians, wherein more than 100 million forest trees died of human-inflicted drought stress, and bushfires killed millions more. The less forests you have, the hotter becomes your country, so more trees die of heat and dry.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So we don't reach a situation where "Australian cities to hit 50C by 2040" (Herald, 5/10), we need to replant possibly at least half of our lost forests. These will need to be trickle-watered forever. And we need to water-harvest and store flood-rains in evaporation-proof underground reservoirs. Halting CO2 emissions is only half the job of restoring a liveable climate to Oz.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Can we stop those who are still knocking down our remaining forests to line their own pockets, excuses always at the ready, such as 'jobs', or 'affordable housing', or for un-clever logging jobs? I doubt it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As an imperfect prophet of the bleeding obvious, I can see Oz becoming a world laughing stock, as this land becomes a bare, dried out husk. Aussies will be clamouring for <b>asylum</b> to countries where thinking and sense trumped apathy and greed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">WITHOUT condoning in any way the torching of three cars in National Park ('Third torched car in as many days', Herald, 5/10) I was struck by the irony of the comment by the council interim chief executive Jeremy Bath and I quote: "frankly it is bewildering that there are people albeit small in number who would abuse and mistreat our city in such a way".</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I AM the coordinator of the organising committee for the Short Statured People of Australia (SSPA) 50th Anniversary Annual National Convention and a proud Novocastrian. Our convention was held at the Myuna Bay Sport and Recreation Centre, Myuna Bay, from September 24 to 30. It was an amazing week with over 200 people joining us from around the country. The week is designed to allow people of short stature and their families to connect. I would like to thank the many companies that helped make the week very memorable.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Firstly, all the staff at Myuna Bay Sport and Recreational Centre for going out of their way to make sure everybody was comfortable.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Finally, October is recognised as Dwarfism Awareness Month in many countries. Dwarfism is a condition of short stature caused as a result of a medical or genetic condition. For people born with dwarfism, the challenge is to be accepted and integrated into everyday society.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Some facts: Dwarfism affects bone growth. It does not affect cognitive, IQ or intellectual abilities. Eighty per cent of people with dwarfism have average-height parents and siblings. People with dwarfism are generally not taller than 4' 10" at adult height. Preferred terms for people born with dwarfism are: short stature or little person. The most preferred terminology is always simply the person's name. For people without dwarfism, the correct terminology is 'average-height' rather than 'normal'. The word 'midget' is highly offensive to the majority of the short statured community.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">GET real Cr Gilbert (Letters, 4/10). In my world, rights go hand in hand with personal responsibility. A small business I work for took on several long-term unemployed people. The government subsidised their wages and provided them with everything they needed to be work ready. The jobs required no skills just a willingness to work hard. Some turned out to be absolute salt of the earth types thankful for the chance to make a new start. Sadly for the majority it was easier to go back to the dole. Your excuses and blaming the government simply reinforce the "not my fault" "I'm entitled" attitude of many and makes it even harder for those genuinely trying to find a job to get the respect they deserve.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I will do something bad to you and you will never see your baby again. I will leave you as a vegetable and you won’t be able to leave your house ever,” Parramatta Bail Court this week heard he ­allegedly told her.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Niknam, a 28-year-old unemployed painter who arrived in Australia in 2013 and was on a bridging visa, was charged with stalking and intimidating Ms Chow and contravening an AVO.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The federal government has cancelled his visa on character grounds and he is being held in the Villawood Detention Centre after being granted bail.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Police allege that after Niknam threatened Ms Chow Chow she left for work at a local supermarket. During her shift he allegedly called her 43 times and text-messaged her a further six times. Police allege that when Ms Chow Chow left work she saw him waiting in the carpark.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She got into her car and locked the doors. It is alleged Niknam tried to get into the vehicle but when he was unable to do so he then followed in his own car.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The court heard Ms Chow Chow drove to St Marys police station and police allege that while she was stopped at a set of traffic lights nearby, Niknam got out of his vehicle yelling at her. Officers intervened and arrested him.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Police Prosecutor Senior Sergeant Craig Pullen opposed Niknam’s bail, saying he was an unacceptable risk to the victim. He noted Niknam was convicted and fined $600 for two counts of breaching an AVO on September 5.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But registrar Ross Lawton granted bail, noting Niknam had only two prior convictions and the likely penalty if convicted on the fresh offences would not be full-time custody. Niknam is not allowed within 200m of Ms Chow Chow or where she lives or works. His case was adjourned until next week.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">An Immigration Department spokesman said visas can be cancelled for “behaviour of concern”.“The Australian government takes seriously its responsibility to protect the Australian community from the risk of harm posed by non-citizens who engage in criminal conduct or behaviour of concern,” he said.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">last interview.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Tom Petty crafted a refuge with music, writes Randy Lewis in the musician's last interview.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is not the Tom Petty story that I had intended to write.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I had no clue that this would turn out to be his last interview, that he would die just a few days later at age 66.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is not the way things were supposed to happen.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When I sat down with Petty in the outer room of the recording studio at his home above Malibu beach, the idea was for him to reflect on the wildly successful 40th anniversary tour he and the Heartbreakers had wrapped less than 48 hours earlier at the end of three sold-out nights at the Hollywood Bowl.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"This year has been a wonderful year for us," he said now, sipping a cup of coffee and sinking into the plush sofa. Above his head hung a framed illustration of his departed friend and boyhood idol George Harrison, created by artist Shepard Fairey and presented to Petty by Harrison's son, musician Dhani Harrison. "This has been that big slap on the back we never got," he said, referring to the popular, critical and financial affirmation that wasn't always apparent throughout the group's hard-working history.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But he did not see it as the end. There was supposed to have been so much more to come.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Petty was excited about producing a second album for the upstart LA rock band he's been championing the past couple of years, the Shelters. "They've been on the road for a year, and we got together recently," he said. "They played me some of their new stuff, and I was just blown away."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He was looking forward to continuing his involvement with the Tom Petty radio channel for the SiriusXM satellite radio service, including the show he organised and hosted personally, Tom Petty's Buried Treasure, in which he picked songs that he loved.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I love doing my Buried Treasure show," he said, ever the rock star in his military-style jacket, loose-fitting pants and aviator shades, even while espousing fan-boy sentiments.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"It keeps me listening like I used to do. I always listen. I could come home and I would spend the rest of the night just lying on the floor or the sofa listening to albums."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After six rewarding but physically demanding months mostly on the road, Petty was supposed to get a moment to take a deep breath, relax and enjoy the return to domestic life with Dana, his wife of 16 years, and their family, including his two adult daughters, Adria and Annakim Violette, from his first marriage; Dana's son, Dylan, from her previous marriage; and their four-year-old granddaughter, Everly Petty.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Even though the notion of kicking back in a hammock sounds antithetical to everything he's ever believed in, or practised, he said, "I just have to learn to rest a little bit, like everyone's telling me. I need to stop working for a period of time." Still, he confessed, "It's hard for me ... If I don't have a project going, I don't feel like I'm connected to anything. I don't even think it's that healthy for me. I like to get out of bed and have a purpose."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Petty always had a purpose, to practise what he called fishing and others call songwriting.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"It's kind of a lonely work," he said, "because you just have to keep your pole in the water. I always had a little routine of going into whatever room I was using at the time to write in, and just staying in there 'til I felt like I got a bite.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I compare it to fishing: there's either a fish in the <b>boat</b> or there's not," he said with a laugh. "Sometimes you come home and you didn't catch anything and sometimes you caught a huge fish."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">During our interview he laughed easily and often, occasionally dropping his voice into a softer mode when outlining just how precious his band, his music and his family were to him. The only gripe he had was about the hip he cracked shortly before the tour started, which he was now finally addressing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is not the Tom Petty story I intended to write because I intended to write a "next stage" story.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Everyone assumed there would be more time for this fisherman to add yet more brethren to the bevy of beloved songs that have integrated themselves into popular culture. Classic rock staples including Breakdown, American Girl, <b>Refugee</b>, Even the Losers, Learning to Fly, Listen to Her Heart, Here Comes My Girl, Walls, Mary Jane's Last Dance.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"To go into a studio and hear a band play [one of his new songs] for the first time is always exciting," Petty said. "And usually when they play it, it became something I hadn't even pictured. Yes, I love the studio. I love the studio as much as I love playing live, easily."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Interviewed collectively backstage at the Hollywood Bowl as they prepared to take the stage for the finale of their tour, the Heartbreakers - lead guitarist Mike Campbell, keyboardist Benmont Tench, multi-instrumentalist Scott Thurston, bassist Ron Blair and drummer Steve Ferrone - were unanimous in their expressions of surprise that anyone might think they were ready to mothball the Heartbreakers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">No, this wasn't supposed to be the end of the road for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, even though the group's namesake talked about what might cause that to happen - one day, perhaps, far down the line.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"If one of us went down," he said, "or if one of us died - God forbid - or got sick ...," letting his voice trail off at the thought of it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We're all older now," he said softly. "Then we'd stop. I think that would be the end of it, if someone couldn't do it."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Until then, he said, there would be no talk of any retirement day - for this singer, songwriter and guitarist, or his band of brothers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"On the back side of your 60s, most people aren't working," he said with an air of pride. "This keeps us young. I think it keeps me young."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Not that he had any near-future plans for a tour as extensive as the 53-show 40th anniversary run. "It is gruelling to do a very, very long one," he said. "This was quite a long one. It's sometimes physically hard. But then the lights go down, you hear the crowd and you're all better. You feel like, 'OK, let's do it'."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If this were the story I had intended to write, if everything had gone the way it was supposed to, Petty and the Heartbreakers would still be looking down the road at more chances to engage in the unique form of worship known only to those who've spent decades together in recording studios, cramped vans, dingy bars and anonymous hotel rooms.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The thing about the Heartbreakers is, it's still holy to me," he said with no air of loftiness or pretence. "There's a holiness there. If that were to go away, I don't think I would be interested in it, and I don't think they would. We're a real rock 'n' roll band - always have been. And to us, in the era we came up in, it was a religion in a way. It was more than commerce, it wasn't about that. It was about something much greater.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"It was about moving people and changing the world, and I really believed in rock 'n' roll - I still do," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I'm just trying to get the best I can get out of it," said Tom Petty, head Heartbreaker and fisher of music, "as long as it remains holy."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That, in reality-induced retrospect, is the part of my story on Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers that is, and remains, exactly as it was supposed to be.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Criticism of the Immigration Department is not warranted</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">GREG Barns demonises Immigration Department case officers and Immigration Minister Peter Dutton based on slogans and no credible evidence (Talking Point, September 25).</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Barns wrote: “The Immigration Department presides over and feeds daily a culture of cruelty.” He described them as the “most sinister and dangerous group of bureaucrats in Australia”. He described Minister Dutton as a “common, garden variety authoritarian”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">These allegations reflect poorly on the opinions of Mr Barns because they fly in the face of the reality facing Mr Dutton, Department of Immigration case officers and Tribunal decision-makers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As a member of the Migration Review Tribunal and <b>Refugee</b> Review Tribunal between 2010 and 2015, I reviewed decisions of immigration case officers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">What I found is that case officers are routinely facing a barrage of oral and written lies, false documents, criminal activity, people giving false evidence in statutory declarations, false identities and overseas students using the system to reside and not study.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For example, the market price to bring in a fake spouse is $100,000. It is a significant problem in the Chinese, Vietnamese and Fijian Indian caseload.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In one case, I found that a man had paid money as a fake spouse to get a visa; that meant he could bring his parents here; then he sponsored his brother who pretended to be single to meet the last remaining relative criteria, but was actually married; and the real wife of the man had sponsored another man on a fake spouse visa.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The <b>boat</b> arrivals between 1999-2001 and 2009-2013 provide another example of the massive fraud faced by the Immigration Department.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">During the first period, I worked as a lawyer in the detention centres of South Australia and Western Australia. The main group of arrivals were Afghan citizens. They had all been living safely in Pakistan.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Most had left as children by 1996 when the <span class="companylink">Taliban</span> took control and gone to live in Quetta, Pakistan. They had their own schools, houses, businesses and were at no risk of harm in Pakistan. But they all claimed to have just fled Afghanistan from the <span class="companylink">Taliban</span>. It was nonsense.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Immigration Department later started an investigation by sending people to Quetta with photos of the <b>boat</b> arrivals, with a view to identifying them and cancelling their visas, but that became too dangerous after September 11, 2001, and the subsequent conflict.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The main group of arrivals after then prime minister Kevin Rudd opened the border were also Afghans living safely in Pakistan, fishermen from Sri Lanka, Sri Lankans living safely in India, and Iranians.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Sri Lankan fishermen were mostly from the west coast and untouched by the civil war. They had previously gone to work in the Middle East, but after a downturn in construction there were fewer jobs. So they got a <b>boat</b> to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Iranians left Iran legally, not easy with the controls of that regime, and were escaping poor economic conditions caused by international sanctions.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Hundreds have since pretended to convert to Christianity and are supported by well-meaning but naive priests and pastors. Others pretend to be a member of a minority, the Faili Kurds, while other pretend to be homosexual.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The website which reports decisions, www.austlii.edu.au[http://www.austlii.edu.au.virtual.anu.edu.au], shows that almost all the <b>refugee</b> cases rejected by the tribunal are done so on the basis of credibility, which is a polite way of saying the applicant lied under oath.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sometimes the lies and false documents are too hard to deal with or too time consuming.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the High Court case of S395/2002 v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs (2003) 216 CLR 473, two men from Bangladesh claimed to be in a homosexual relationship. Four different members of the <b>Refugee</b> Review Tribunal had rejected the case, mostly because they found the applicants were lying and were pretending to be homosexual.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On appeal to a federal court, each decision was remitted to the tribunal because of a legal error. The case remained dormant for more than a year, after which the then principal member conducted a two-hour hearing and allowed the appeal, effectively granting them visas. She quietly handed down the decision in the first week of January 2015. It was not published on the internet.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is quite common for applicants to “kill off” their relatives to meet visa criteria, such as being an “orphan relative”. In one case I reviewed at the tribunal, the sponsor gave sworn evidence her parents had been killed in Kabul during a rocket attack. A witness came to the hearing and swore he was at the funeral. However, a disgruntled person in Afghanistan had provided photos of the parents, very much alive, and an investigation in Kabul proved the father ran a pharmacy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I have found in my 27 years as an immigration lawyer that people who lied in visa applications did not retire.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They went on to lie in other systems: social security, tax, workers compensation, personal injury, motor vehicle insurance, first-home buyers’ schemes, car registration and public housing. They also made their way back to the immigration system with a fraudulent case, such as fake spouse.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The minister and Department of Immigration officers are facing an avalanche of lies, false information, false documents, criminal behaviour and potential terrorist threats.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Rather than make allegations without credible evidence, armchair critics such as Mr Barns should support the minister’s efforts to keep Australia safe.Simon Jeans is an accredited specialist in immigration law in New South Wales. He has worked for the Jesuit <b>Refugee</b> Service, <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span> and Legal Aid (NSW).

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">What to do with refugees is an age-old problem and won't be resolved any time soon according to Michael Kirby, who addressed <span class="companylink">University of Wollongong</span> students and staff in a public lecture.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He said Australia was failing in its obligations under the Refugees Convention by sending <b>asylum</b> seekers elsewhere and labelled the uncertainty those in detention faced - the unknowing of when the process will end or what will happen to them - as "an element of psychological torture".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I think the battle will keep manifesting itself in different ways … the likelihood is that is nothing much permanent will happen until the two major political groups in Australia decide to put humanity above politics," Mr Kirby said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The policy of offshore processing does not comply with the United Nations' agreement Australia has signed, he said, regardless of our country having a long history of accepting refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He highlighted several instances in history where Australia has taken on thousands of displaced people such as the Jewish population fleeing parts of Nazi-occupied Europe during World War II.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Wollongong may be one of many cities currently accepting newly resettled refugees, but Mr Kirby said the problem wouldn't be fixed by the actions of individual areas but by a change of public perception as a nation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The numbers of refugees who are actually coming to Australia ... it's not a huge number by world standards," he said, comparing our few thousand to the millions heading to Germany.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Of the <b>asylum</b> seekers arriving by <b>boat</b>, Mr Kirby said around 80 per cent are found to be genuine refugees but the majority of Australians in "outlying suburbs" are unsympathetic and have the misconception <b>boat</b> people are queue jumpers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Politically this is very difficult because in the outlying suburbs is where governments are formed," he said. "This is the predicament we find ourselves in … that most major political groupings are not going to change the current policy."</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Speaking to an audience of about 50 at the Policy Exchange in Westminster, Mr Dutton said immigration concerns had been at the heart of the Coalition's victory in 2013, Brexit, the election of Donald Trump and the surge of support for the far-right AfD in Germany.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">UKIP, and - for a short time - the Leave campaign, advocated an "Australian-style points-based" immigration system as a way of "taking back control" of Britain's borders. However the policy was not adopted by Prime Minister Theresa May.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Arguing that people would embrace immigration if it was done "fairly", Mr Dutton cited the 2016 Scanlon report, which found the lowest recorded number of Australians - 34 per cent - considered Australia's immigration intake was "too high".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Immigration Minister said Australia was a proud migrant nation, but trust in the system had deteriorated when the Rudd and Gillard Labor governments wound back the Pacific Solution, sparking a surge in <b>boat</b> arrivals.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">During that time, he said, people smugglers had been able to charge $20,000 for a journey to Australia but that fell to $1000 when the Coalition began turning back boats following its election victory in 2013.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He said he doubted the Australian public would have supported the government's one-off intake of 12,000 refugees displaced by the Syrian civil war.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government was using analytics to try to weed out potential terrorists travelling to Australia, he said, and structural changes to the visa system would be on the horizon. Complementing this, the Minister said, the government intended to introduce biometric scanning of passengers at airports, instead of passports.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Dutton did not resile from his criticism of the 50 refugees from Manus Island to be re-homed in the United States, some of whom were photographed wearing sunglasses and casual clothing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Shortly after arriving in London for meetings with the British Home Secretary Amber Rudd, Mr Dutton conducted an interview on Sydney radio 2GB, in which he launched an attack on the men, describing them as "economic refugees."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Somebody once said to me that the world's biggest collection of Armani jeans and handbags up on Nauru waiting for people to collect when they depart," he told host Ray Hadley.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">All those sent to the United States have been found to be refugees under the UN <b>Refugee</b> Convention and cannot be returned to their homelands, where they face serious threats to their lives and safety.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At a later media conference in London, Mr Dutton said he did not regret his comments.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I'm not going to deviate from that because we have been very clear about our generosity and helping those people," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He denied he had humiliated Donald Trump and undermined the <b>refugee</b> swap deal, which the US President had grudgingly agreed to honour. "Well, President Trump will conduct a vetting of each of these individuals and the United States will make judgments about each of the individuals and they'll make a judgment about who comes to their country," he said.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On Tuesday, 25 refugees from Manus Island became the first accepted by the US under a deal between former president Barack Obama and Prime ­Minister Malcolm Turnbull. A further 29 refugees departed Nauru this week.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The deal allows for up to 1250 people to be resettled in the US. Mr Dutton said many of the refugees on Manus Island and Nauru had not come from war-ravaged areas.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“They’re economic refugees, they got on a <b>boat</b>, paid a people- smuggler a lot of money, and somebody once said to me that we’ve got the world’s biggest ­collection of Armani jeans and handbags up on Nauru waiting for people to collect it when they depart,” he told 2GB.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The reality is these ­people have at the generosity of the Australian taxpayer received an enormous amount of support for a long period of time. We didn’t ask people to hop on the boats, and we’re getting them out, including through this US deal, but we have been taken for a ride.” Mr Dutton said <b>asylum</b>-seekers on Manus Island had recently been photographed enjoying the island’s beaches in pictures posted on social media. “Quickly they take down their photos from the <span class="companylink">Facebook</span> pages when they’re discovered, but there is a very different scenario up on Nauru and Manus than what people want you to believe,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Dutton said it “might come as a shock” for some of the refugees to have to work to earn a living when they resettle in the US. “They’ve been receiving three square meals a day, accommodation, services all turned on, and the reality is that people coming to Australia, some wanting to come for work, others were wanting to come for ­welfare.” Mr Dutton was due to give a speech to British policymakers and government staffers at the Policy Exchange in central London overnight, in which he was to reveal more than 300 British-born criminals had their Australian visas revoked and were forced to return to Britain.In a lighthearted part of the draft speech, Mr Dutton was to turn the tables on Australia’s history of convict transportation and reveal that more than 10 per cent of the 2773 visas revoked in the past three years had been serious criminals from Britain. Mr Dutton has the powers to strip passports of dual citizens or visas from criminals convicted of serious crimes and the figures show that about 100 British criminals are transported back to Britain each year.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A nh Nguyen knows a guy who does “amazing buttock work”. So, apart from those patients she’s convinced will genuinely benefit from a perter posterior, it’s not really the kind of work she covets.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If you visit her asking to look like a Kardashian or seeking outrageous double-G boobs or expensive liposuction that won’t actually solve your weight problem, she’ll probably politely try to talk you around or turn you away.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And if you front up to her consulting rooms begging to look 10 years younger in four weeks’ time for a wedding — as one woman did — well, prepare for the deeply compassionate but refreshingly straight-shooting surgeon to tell you how it is.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I was like: ‘Just airbrush the photos!’ the 39-year-old doctor says with a hoot. “Because that’s going to be the cheapest, best option. A Snapchat filter will fix it all. If we had six months we could work on something. I always say it’s like painting a house — when you pile on too much in one hit it’s not going to set, it’s going to go all over the place.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That’s not to say Anh doesn’t indulge vanity by injecting fillers or perform medically unnecessary surgery such as breast enlargements. But genuinely helping people — fixing problems that cripple confidence, no matter how insignificant they might seem to others — is what gives her real joy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Take the outwardly beautiful young woman keeping a secret that had sapped her self-esteem. The woman confided in Anh that she had “never let anyone near her” because of large amounts of excess skin that hung from her vagina. Her confidence was so low she was unable to even look anyone in the eye.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Post labiaplasty, she was “a totally new person,” Anh says, slightly emotional. “She bounded in and shrieked: ‘Anh!’ I almost didn’t recognise her. Quite amazing.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Then there are the patients who have survived cancer or horrific domestic violence, who have achieved dramatic weight loss or been in dysfunctional, confidence-crushing marriages.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Marriages like you’d see on Jerry Springer,” Anh says. “Where they marry some guy who just wanted to fatten them up and control them and who puts them down. Then she starts feeling terrible about herself. You actually see a lot of those patients. And then suddenly when they’ve got the courage to get rid of them they say ‘You know what? I’m going to get my life back’.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Divorce makeovers are big business. “A lot of people, after they’ve made a big change to leave someone or they’ve had someone leave them, then they feel like no, I’ve invested my entire life, 25 years with this person and given him everything and now he’s traded me in for someone younger. Then they want to get their confidence back and to start dating. We see a lot of people who feel like they’ve neglected themselves because they haven’t valued themselves enough. There are so many incredible stories. Because it’s not about what they had done, it’s about what it meant to them.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The same goes for so-called mummy makeovers — nips and tucks for those who, post-pregnancy, no longer have the confidence to even undress in front of their partner. These transformations — physical and emotional — also boost Anh’s own sense of self-worth, knowing she’s making a real difference.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If you thought plastic surgeons were all narcissistic reality TV stars or unscrupulous strangers with sports cars and scalpels, Anh — a Vietnamese <b>refugee</b> with a beautifully ocker Australian accent who looks a million bucks but started with no money and even less self-confidence — would be quite a surprise indeed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Anh was born in postwar Saigon in 1978. When she was just a few months old her schoolteacher parents Vu Thi Sam and Nguyen Truong Duong decided they had to flee. “If they hadn’t had kids I don’t think it would have mattered but, with me being recently born, they said ‘No, we’ve got to get out’.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The family were bundled on to a fishing <b>boat</b> with about 200 other people in the black of night. “They risked everything. They left everything behind, all we had was the clothes we had on.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They remained on the <b>boat</b> for a hellish five days — food and water quickly ran out. “They just hoped and prayed that I wouldn’t cry because if I cried it would have alerted the authorities.” But things got very desperate. “In the dark they got some water for me — or what they thought was water — and gave it to me. But it was engine oil or something, so then I had diarrhoea for the next few weeks.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Eventually the trio landed on an Indonesian island. “A beautiful group of people took us in,” she said, before they were taken to a <b>refugee</b> camp in Jakarta. “It was then that Australia said they would take a family and we were lucky to go there. Whereas the rest of Mum’s family went to America. So the sadness was that the family had to split but at least we all got to go somewhere and we were all safe.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Anh and her parents ended up at a public housing estate in Maroondah in Melbourne. There, the family set about learning the language and, with the help of local churches and charities, establishing themselves. Truong worked several jobs while Mum Sam worked as a tram conductor before they bought into a sewing factory.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“When my sister came along, then my brother, Mum and Dad decided, well, Dad would do night shift and look after the kids during the day and Mum would do the day shift and be home with the kids at night. They worked really hard.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Anh recalls another family business was a convenience store — the tiny 10-year-old would stand on a milk crate to serve customers. “I knew all the cigarette brands,” she says with a horrified laugh.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Later, they’d go back to clothing. “All your friends are going out and we had to go and work. I’d be hand sewing things and my dad said to me: ‘One day you’ll be sewing real people.’ I had no idea what he was on about.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The “typical Asian migrant family” was all about working hard and being “the best that you can be and get yourself to a better position than we are in”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The driven young woman went to the selective Mac.Robertson Girls’ High. “It was weird because you go to a school like that and on the first day everyone wants to be an astrophysicist or a neurosurgeon or a QC. It was very competitive and I think that drove everyone to push harder. It wasn’t a fancy school … but it was really good for me.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Anh aced Year 12 and was accepted into Melbourne University — despite being offered a scholarship to study law at the <span class="companylink">Australian National University</span> in Canberra. “I thought it would be pretty cool to be a QC,” she says with a chuckle. “I loved debating and at the time LA Law was sexy. Then my mum, who used to be a lawyer in Vietnam, said ‘Go and do medicine, go and help people’.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While Anh found medical school challenging, she loved every discipline she tried — thinking for a time she’d be an orthopaedic or renal surgeon. But the by-the-numbers nature of some surgery didn’t exactly excite her.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Eventually she found an area that appealed to her creative side. “Sometimes I think I was too scared to admit what I really wanted to do,” she says. “And that was plastic surgery.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Anh was hooked after working a resident job at the <span class="companylink">Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne</span> where she realised the possibilities of plastic surgery. “For the first time I was inspired, I was so in awe. From kids who were really severely burnt to kids born with conjoined heads to the kids who had extra fingers and funny toes to those who had big vascular malformations, it was all so fascinating.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I didn’t know you could do these things. To a lot of people plastic surgery is all about boobs and botox but it’s actually not about all of that.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Anh moved to Perth in 1996 to join a plastic surgery training program. The previous year she’d met her now husband, pharmacist Vu, during a visit to WA for a conference.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A self-described “golden girl” in Melbourne, Anh struggled in the cut-throat plastic surgery scene here. “Training was tough. And I had a child in my first year. One of the consultants said to me you obviously don’t take your career very seriously. It was hard, it really was designed to break you and I was so many times close to walking away.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But she persisted, and passed — though felt depleted and disillusioned. During a trip back to Melbourne to recharge, Anh was reinvigorated when she discovered a love for aesthetic plastic surgery.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“From the very first day it was anything but what I thought it was. It was all about people who had issues about major things or minor things but it really held them back from being the person they wanted to be,” she says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I used to see patients walk in after having, whether it’s a breast reduction or augmentation or they’ve had their ears pinned back and they were different people. They were happy because they liked what they saw in themselves.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“People think people have plastic surgery because they’re vain and want to be more beautiful or younger. They just want to be the best version of themselves.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Anh returned to Perth where she worked under another surgeon before branching out on her own. She opened Dr Anh Medispa in 2014. The plush inner-city oasis offers all manner of beauty treatments including cutting-edge facials and peels.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She’s also about to open a facility at Crown Perth, which will focus more specifically on the cosmetic medical and plastic surgical side of things rather than beauty and relaxation. Like the honeymooner who might want a bit of a vaginal rejuvenation at the end of her trip or local ladies who prefer to have a luxurious plastic surgery holiday at home without having to take a gamble overseas.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The mother of three children is an avid philanthropist, supporting causes such as Lifeline and Ronald McDonald House. She also works regularly in the public system at Fiona Stanley. “I have always wanted to give back to the system that trained me or, maybe more, have a positive influence on the next generation,” she says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While her appearance and success might suggest otherwise, Anh has battled low self-esteem since childhood. At a recent wedding a guest asked Vu how he managed to snare such a “glamazon” wife. “We laughed our heads off. I said ‘You have no idea’.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While so much of the plastic surgery industry is about fighting the ageing process, for Anh it’s brought wisdom and confidence. “Vu even says I am not the same person I used to be. He says he sees this beauty he’s never seen.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While Anh admits to a bit of botox and fillers, plus regular skin treatments —“pretty standard stuff” — she “dreads” the day her 10-year-old daughter comes to her asking for some kind of plastic surgery.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I’d talk to her and get her seen by the right person but my goal is to try and build enough self-esteem and self-confidence she doesn’t need to think about those things — that it doesn’t define who she is.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Fittingly for a work about birds and what they can teach us, The Wonder of Birds soars beyond its putative subject into realms once regarded as mystical. In language precise and poetical, Jim Robbins probes scientific and cultural perceptions of birds that expand our understanding of the interconnectedness of all things. Murmurations - the synchronised movements of flocks - lie at the heart of this unfolding mystery. Scientists believe flock intelligence creates a mind that is bigger and smarter than the sum of its parts. While there is much dispute about how flocks co-ordinate movements, Robbins says research could shed light on everything from why people vote as they do, how to steer rampaging fans to safety at sports events and how this "metawisdom" might be "coaxed out of a human collective". </p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the tradition of the soapbox speech and the recruiting poster, Terri Butler wants YOU to stop moaning about politics and to get involved, preferably in the ALP. In this extended pamphlet, she canvasses why it is up to us, as much as to her as a federal member of parliament, to play our part: "If people of goodwill decide that politics is distasteful, they are in danger of leaving politics to the passionate, extremist few." Along with arguments about working for social justice, Butler combines frank and lively discussion of her experience of the political process - pre-selection, the campaign, working as a team, juggling work and family, party conferences - with the devotee's hard sell. Among the many reasons, she says, people should join the ALP is that they have rowdier parties and better music than the conservative side of politics. </p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Two tribes lived here," writes Richard Zachariah of Victoria's Western District. "One was displaced, and the other is leaving." It is the latter, the "lost white tribe", that preoccupies this fierce elegy for the pastoral dynasties of the region, where "luminous Gatsbys rounded up their flocks in Daimlers", and "lived in fine houses built by fine wool". As the son of the headmaster at Hamilton and Western District Boys' College, he was not of this elite but brushed with it sufficiently to idealise the way of life and mourn its passing with more quixotic, uncompromising passion than those whose families, in his mind, not only "failed the land" but failed to confront the legacy of this loss. Zachariah's defiant nostalgia, lyrical prose and Chekhovian melancholy make for a tale of novelistic power.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">CLAIRE HIGGINS</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">UNSW PRESS, $29.99</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When Vietnamese <b>boat</b> people started coming to Australia in 1976, fewer than 10 per cent of migrants settling here were Asian. Despite Australia's long-standing anxiety about being overrun by the "yellow peril", this wave of refugees was successfully managed without the polarising debate and harsh policies that now characterise <b>asylum</b>-seeker policy. In this rigorous and scrupulously balanced work, Claire Higgins examines the government and the public response to <b>boat</b> people from the 1970s to the 1990s. In a 1977 statement that contrasts starkly with the Coalition's current position, the Fraser government said that <b>refugee</b> boats should not be allowed to become an election issue because "human suffering transcends partisan advantage". <b>Asylum</b> By <b>Boat</b> is a valuable study in the importance of political nerve and leadership in the face of prejudice and panic.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The <span class="companylink">group of eight</span> families sued the commonwealth over the December 2010 incident in which 50 Iranian and Iraqi ­<b>asylum</b>-seekers were killed, alleging it had abrogated its duty of care by failing to intercept the ­arrivals before their <b>boat</b> was destroyed and because two government rescue vessels in the area were not seaworthy.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Judge Geoff Bellew found in favour of the commonwealth in almost every one of 18 questions raised by the case, finding the government owed no duty of care to the <b>asylum</b>-seekers who had undertaken the journey of their own accord, and that the unseaworthy vessels could not have been used in the rescue because they were too small for the prevailing weather conditions.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Led by human rights lawyer George Newhouse, the families alleged the government should have known the vessel — called Suspected Illegal Entry Vessel 221 — was in Australian waters and facing potential danger and that the government’s HMAS Pirie should have intercepted it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The federal government has said the legal action, defended at taxpayers’ expense, “beggars belief”, was a “shameful and offensive claim” and that those making the claims “have to be held ­accountable for those claims”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Newhouse could not be reached for comment yesterday.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At the time SIEV 221 crashed on the Christmas Island cliffs, on the morning of December 15, HMAS Pirie was nearby but was keeping watch over SIEV 220, another <b>asylum</b>-seeker vessel it had intercepted hours earlier.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“On the information which was made available to him at about 06:00 on 15 December, 2010, Commander Livingstone did not know, nor did he have reason to suspect, that SIEV 221 was in distress,” the judge said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The evidence did not support a conclusion that, even if the HMAS Pirie had relinquished its position in proximity to SIEV 220 and had undertaken a patrol further to the north of Christmas Island, it would have detected SIEV 221 and been able to intercept it.” The eight families had sought damages for physical or psychological injuries suffered by the victims, the loss of victims’ mat­erial possessions and psychological injury of the relatives of the SIEV 221 passengers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Justice Bellew found the government had not put the <b>asylum</b>-seekers at any risk of harm, that it did not direct the vessel to navigate to Australia, did not control the weather, did not know anything about the skill of those ­operating the vessel and had “no control over the primitive nature of the vessel”.“Those on board could have protected themselves simply by not undertaking the voyage in the first place.”</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He was pulling people from the water when he fell to the bottom of the rescue <b>boat</b> and was crushed underfoot by about a dozen panicked men. He remained on duty for seven years until the Australian Defence Force medical review board deemed him unfit for service, even in the reserves. The not-so-old salt was assured he would be compensated and even receive the treasured Gold Card for medical expenses.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But then along came a Department of Veterans’ Affairs doctor who diagnosed he had “nil incapacity” and allegedly suggested he might be bunging it on.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Other men who were hurt or traumatised on the same stormy night received full benefits.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The final insult came like a wave over the bow when he received a letter from the DVA offering him $6.20 a fortnight pocket money.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Griggs was the Country Liberal Member for the Northern Territory seat of Solomon for six whole years until 2016 when the people decided they no longer required her services.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">DVA might have found Perrin had “nil capacity” but the Government decided Griggs had “capacity plus” and last week appointed her administrator of Christmas Island and the Cocos Islands. It pays $293,000 a year with perks, nearly $100,000 more than she earned as a backbench MP. The Government says she is well-qualified for the three-year role because of her work on <span class="companylink">Parliament</span>’s External Territories Committee. Maybe, but the optics of this are just terrible. They are made even more appalling by the fact that it makes her the ninth of 15 defeated Liberal casualties from 2016 who have been handed well-paid government jobs. A journalist keeping score reported that former MPs Matt Williams, Brett Whiteley, Karen McNamara and Peter Hendy are all whispering in the ears of sitting MPs as advisers. Hendy (one of the key plotters in the coup that brought Malcolm Turnbull to power) has also been appointed to the Commonwealth Grants Committee and the near invisible Council for Australian-Arab Relations.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Right faction warriors Andrew Nikolic and Russel Matheson were given $200,000-a-year jobs with <span class="companylink">the Administrative Appeals Tribunal</span>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One-termer Eric Hutchison was appointed to the $293,000 job as administrator to Norfolk Island, while former bad boy minister Jamie Briggs was given a gig with Moorebank Intermodal, a government freight enterprise.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Government also handed jobs to two Liberals who quit before the election: parliamentary pensioner Philip Ruddock was made a $1000-a-day Special Envoy for Human Rights and Sharman Stone was made Ambassador for Women and Girls. And we won’t mention retired MPs Andrew Robb, Bruce Billson and Ian Macfarlane who nodded off and woke up in private enterprise heaven.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Government has also appointed Labor figures to succulent jobs, including former speaker Anna Burke to <span class="companylink">the Administrative Appeals Tribunal</span> and former minister Gary Gray to the independent Parliamentary Expenses Authority.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And Labor’s not innocent when it comes to looking after its pals. Labor’s Duncan Kerr quit <span class="companylink">Parliament</span> and fell on his feet as president of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal on $400,000 a year. Roger Price was appointed Consul-General in Chicago (we have one, we need one?), Bob McMullan was made Special Envoy to Africa (really) and Arch Bevis was handed some sweeteners on various boards.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So, it goes on, proving that there is no better club in the land than our federal parliament.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It sure beats the Used, Abused and Discarded Club which so many of our servicemen and women join after they put their lives on the line.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For better, not for worse SO, now we’re locked into this ridiculous postal survey on marriage equality, can we call quits to the campaigning?It’s a very expensive survey that doesn’t bind Government to anything, invites disdain from some politicians who have declared their hands and merely dampens a smouldering ember in the Government party room. And I don’t think a single Australian hasn’t made up his or her mind one way or the other. That means the next few weeks of so-called campaigning is little more than an invitation to muddy the waters. But the interesting thing is the breadth of support for marriage equality, particularly among older Australians. All the polls show overwhelming support highest among the young but strongly evident among the old. The most conservative polling I can find for the over-60s is 50 per cent either way. Add to that anecdotal evidence of lively old grans who publicly endorse same sex marriage and it represents an extraordinary turnabout in attitudes. I can’t even begin to imagine my parents supporting marriage equality even though they were liberal and tolerant. Today I’d be hard pressed to find an opponent among my contemporaries. Is it something peculiar to the same sex marriage debate or indicative of some kind of tolerance breakthrough? Maybe it’s to do with Baby Boomers stumbling into old age. Whatever it is, it could be a political game changer in coming years.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">J ock Serong has quickly established himself as one of Australia's most arresting and original crime-writing talents. Quota won the Best First Novel at the 2015 Ned Kelly Awards and last year's The Rules of Backyard Cricket was deadpan, dark and funny.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On the Java Ridge is something of a change of pace - a polyphonic, polemical sea story about Australia's <b>refugee</b> policy. While not as breezy as his previous two novels, you've got to admire Serong's ambition and his willingness to move out of his noir comfort zone.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Set in the near future the book begins by introducing us to Cassius Calvert, the Australian minister for "Border Integrity". Calvert is a charming rogue with no real moral compass to speak of. His main gift seems to be the ability to give press conferences in Orwellian doublespeak and keep a straight face while doing it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On the eve of a federal election, a naval rating has been killed boarding a people-smuggling <b>boat</b>. In response a new hardline <b>refugee</b> policy has been rushed through cabinet. Calvert tells a shocked Canberra press corps that Australia will henceforth be outsourcing the protection of northern waters to its new private sector partners: Core Resolve Security.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Meanwhile, a metaphoric and literal storm is brewing in the Timor Sea. On the not-so-good ship Takalar, a nine-year-old Hazara Afghani girl, Roya, and her pregnant mother are attempting the last crossing from Indonesia to Australia before the new regime comes into force. On the Ashmore Reef, not too far away from the Takalar, we meet Isi Natoli, the skipper of a traditional Bugis Phinisi, named the Java Ridge, leading a group of surf tourists in a quest to find the perfect wave. Wise to the ways of the sea, she finds a sheltered lagoon for her yacht before the onset of a typhoon.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">During the night Isi hears the sounds of a ship in distress.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At this point the novel takes a slightly fantastical left turn but the cynical games that get played out by Canberra and the Core Resolve goons are certainly not outside the realms of possibility. Isi is resourceful and brave but Calvert is the character with the most growth to do and his arc is endearing and entertaining.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At times On the Java Ridge courts the didacticism of late period John le Carre when really Serong needs to channel someone such as Clive Cussler or Iain Banks to move the plot along. But this is only a minor quibble - how it all gets resolved in the third act is nicely done and I enjoyed jumping between the very different points of view that Serong uses to tell his taut and impressive third novel.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Well done, <span class="companylink">Newcastle City Council</span> - driving to work this morning, stopped to get piece of paper from under my wiper, a nice $180 fine for parking against traffic flow in Merewether Street in front of Lingard Private Hospital.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is an off-street loop with no line markings or indication of flow, and only wide enough for single-lane passage.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I work there as a nurse. As the staff, patients and visitors will tell you, parking is a nightmare since the extension of the hospital has begun.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Car parks have been taken away, new two-hour parking areas have popped up, and new yellow line markings have appeared. It means sick, elderly and staff have to park and walk miles to get to the hospital.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This can be seen as nothing more than targeting vulnerable people. A very distressed relative was fined $250. Apparently they have done another round of fines since.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Is there no decency to allow some leeway for the infrastructure works occurring? Maybe they could actually mark some car park lines on the street, or provide lighting for us walking to our cars in the dark. People are just trying to get to work to care for their patients, visit a doctor, or see a sick relative or friend. Surely you can get your revenue elsewhere?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I never suspected that any news item could surpass the depths of our minister for tormenting refugees Peter Dutton, but the Sydney Morning <span class="companylink">Herald</span> had a worse story.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sweden will deport a 106-year-old Afghan woman who made a perilous journey to Europe, carried by her son and grandson ("Sweden to deport 106-year-old Afghan woman", SMH 5/9). Their ministry said "generally speaking, high age does not in itself provide grounds for <b>asylum</b>." Gee, being 106 must be a common ground used.It must be time for a fact-finding trip for Minster Dutton to Sweden to find out how to be tougher on refugees. Where did we go wrong here? She never even came on a <b>boat</b>!</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So, Scot MacDonald says Newcastle should dream big about Broadmeadow ("Newcastle invited to dream big for Broamdeadow", <span class="companylink">Herald</span> 7/9).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Newcastle knows its sweeping richness, as our most Australian destination, and dreams much bigger than that. Business use of the intercity rail corridor would efficiently serve several markets.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Not least is a prosperous high volume, high turnover tourist Mecca of a beachfront CBD, with The Rocks of the north in easy reach. Newcastle station is perfect for this but now lies dormant.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Newcastle would be a textbook study in smart 21st century efficiency of the built environment. Sydney's 1979 Eastern suburbs railway of tunnels and single stanchions clearly shows the way.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">An interchange for the commercial centre to the west should be part of it. Under cover of nationally shameful 65km/hr rail services, the government has weakened the lower Hunter by truncating what should be the strongest connection with Sydney.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In my view this outlines real vision, an easily grasped dream.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So the federal government is chasing multinationals who are evading their tax responsibilities. Why not change the rules regarding religious groups who are exempt from contributing their share of tax?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Catholic Church, acknowledged as the largest real estate owner in the world, has assets in excess of 100 billion dollars. A quick glance at the local phone book shows over 160 religious groups in this area. They are all tax exempted!</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Now there is a new one... "The Flying Spaghetti Church", to add to the list. Where will it all end? If all the groups were required to pay even a nominal tax, this would benefit the country.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On Thursday I left my purse in the toilet at Lake Macquarie Fair shopping centre and did not realise until I got home that I had lost it. Like all of us I thought I would not get it back. I returned to the shopping centre and checked with some of the shops and was informed by Tracy at Coles that my purse had been handed into centre management.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Gaye from Centre Management informed me that Kris the cleaner had handed in my purse after finding it in the toilet.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Thank you, Kris, and may good things always come to you. I believe in Karma and I have returned lost things to people so I guess good Karma came back to me.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is wonderful that there are still honest people in this world. I certainly met several on this adventure today.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The absurdity of the federal government knows no bounds. They have been in power for four years; they have known about the imminent closure of Liddell for all this time and done absolutely nothing. Now we have Turnbull running around like a headless chook, first trying to give AGL money to keep Liddell going then trying to find a new buyer for the power station ("Too Liddell too late", <span class="companylink">Herald</span> 6/9).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They are quite happy to give millions to AGL to keep an obsolete power station going, billions to Adani to develop a questionably economic coal mine, tens of billions in subsidies to the coal industry and this rabble then accuse Labor of being socialists.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For four years they have had no energy policy other than to tear down every policy that Labor had put in place and when it backfires what do they do? They resort to their fall-back position, blame Labor.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If ever we needed a lesson in the failure of capitalism and privatisation to meet the needs of society then we have it here.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The privatisation of the electricity grid is a monumental failure. The privatisation of the telephone network has been a monumental failure; the destruction of the NBN will cost us billions to rectify. France has begun re-nationalising industries. In Britain, Corbyn wants to do the same. Neo-conservative ideology has failed societies worldwide; it is now time for the people to take back what is ours. It is time to kick out the conservative parliamentarians, and that extends to the right wing politicians in the Labor Party. We need another Gough Whitlam, or we need a mass of truly independent politicians.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">COVER STORY</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Angelina Jolie directs a passion project that's personal as well as political, writes JENNY COONEY CARRILLO. </p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Seventeen years ago, Angelina Jolie and Cambodian author Loung Ung were sitting in hammocks, waiting out a torrential monsoon in a remote part of Cambodia, when Jolie asked a question that would change her life.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I asked Loung how she would feel - as a Cambodian orphan herself - if I adopted a Cambodian orphan," she says, with emotion in her voice. "I'll always be grateful she was really supportive, because if she had said the opposite, my life would have been very different and I might never have found Maddox."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The two women - now close friends - met at that time because Jolie had been to Cambodia to film her first movie blockbuster, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, and in her efforts to get to know the country better had picked up a copy of Loung's book First They Killed My Father. It documents her story as a five-year-old girl struggling to survive the genocide of the Khmer Rouge regime responsible for the deaths of an estimated 2 million Cambodians.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Loung also vividly remembers that night in their hammocks, when Jolie asked for her blessing. "All I saw was that her heart was big and her desire to be a mother was real and her wanting to mother a child from Cambodia was authentic," Loung says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I actually wanted her to adopt me as an orphan but, being that I'm older than her, I couldn't really suggest that."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Loung's book has now been adapted into a film, directed by Jolie. The made-for-Netflix movie is shot in the native Khmer language and begins in 1975, when the five-year-old Loung Ung and her six siblings are living a privileged life in Phnom Penh as the children of a high-ranking government official. Their world is turned upside down when Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge regime storms into the city and forces everyone to evacuate, killing those who resist and sending the rest to work camps during what became a four-year nightmare.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Jolie and Loung have talked about turning Loung's story into a film since Jolie adopted Maddox, now 16.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Loung has known Mad his whole life and Mad has known of Loung's story his whole life and it was Maddox who finally said, 'It's time, let's go make the movie'," Jolie says. She acknowledges her son's contribution in the end credits as an executive producer. "I think we were both waiting for him to be ready because I'd told him when it was time he would have to really be there, and I was proud of him for how he immersed himself in the experience.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"He's my son but he belongs very much also to Cambodia, so it was nice to see him at home."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On this day, Jolie is in a hotel suite in Beverly Hills, California, to discuss the film and is doing her best to look calm and confident. The bright red lipstick on the Oscar winner's famously bee-stung lips draws attention away from her eyes, which look as if they could fill with tears at any moment. She is eager to talk about her passion project but knows there is an elephant in the room - her split with Brad Pitt. Their 12-year relationship (and two-year marriage) ended reportedly due to Pitt's alcohol issues and a well-documented blow-up with Maddox on the tarmac during an airport stopover. Jolie filed for divorce in September last year - requesting full custody of their six children, aged nine to 16. Pitt recently told GQ magazine he had been sober for six months.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">How is she? "I'm OK. It's hard," she says softly. "I am a little shy at this time, because I am not as strong I think inside as I have been in the past."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Jolie is uncharacteristically cautious when asked how she has handled the past year. "It's been difficult and I haven't worked, other than teaching and focusing on my work in Nairobi [involving a June visit to mark World <b>Refugee</b> Day]. I've actually spent most of my days just taking care of the children," she says, her voice cracking. "I will eventually balance more and do more work but because of family issues it's been extremely tough.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"It's not easy doing press right now ... I can't pretend this isn't a tough time in my life, but I'm trying to get through it by just moving forward and knowing it's part of being human. Sometimes I can forget that and we can all get pretty hard on each other ... Maybe sometimes it appears I am pulling it all together, but really in fact I am just trying to get through my days."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Jolie also tears up when she talks about her awakening as a humanitarian after her first visit to Cambodia and what that country means to her.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Going there the first time helped me realise how little I knew about the world and opened my eyes to camps and refugees and the landmine issue," she says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"But I also became a mother through Cambodia, when I found Maddox, and I've been a citizen for over a decade and we have our home in the north, near the Thai border, so making this film brought everything I love into one place."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Jolie cast a wide net to find a young Cambodian girl to portray Loung Ung. She found the expressive Sareum Srey Moch and says she exceeded expectations.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"What I've learned from my own kids is that you really can't tell them what to do," she says. "She showed up every day and surprised me."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As for claims that the film's casting team used exploitative methods during auditions involving giving and taking away money in a "game", Jolie has called the allegations "false and upsetting". She says of <span class="companylink">Sareum</span>: "I asked her if she wanted to be an actress and she said, 'no, I want to be a director.' She's obviously learnt very quickly!"</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Loung later joins Jolie in a joint interview and they appear close, giggling and whispering as if we are talking about someone else who suffered the trauma that is depicted in the film. Loung's parents, two sisters and 20 other relatives (the title of the film is the plot spoiler) were killed during the Khmer Rouge reign. In 1980, Loung and her older brother Meng escaped by <b>boat</b> to Thailand, where they spent five months in a <b>refugee</b> camp before moving to the US to live with a host family in Vermont. Loung returns to Cambodia frequently for her non-profit work and has been reunited with her surviving siblings, pictured with her in a moving cameo in the film's final scene.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I don't see it as a story about horror or war but a story about love," Loung says. "I think it's a story about resilience; about a child and a family and a country going through a genocide but it also shows how love, as broken as it was, inspired us all to survive."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Jolie is less guarded when asked about her ongoing struggle with her health, after opting to have a preventive double mastectomy in 2013 - sending her into early menopause - and more recently being treated for hypertension and Bell's palsy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Yes, my body has sometimes taken a hit with all of the things that I had to do," she says matter-of-factly. "And then, emotionally, it was a difficult year on top of all that. But I don't want my children to feel my stress; they need to feel my joy and have joy in just living every day. I see them together and it givesme great peace to know that the day I pass away, they will have each other and take care of each other for life."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Her tone turns lighter when asked where she'd like to be in 10 years. "I guess all my kids will be off on their own and I'll be visiting them and chasing them around, but I hope I'm not a grandmother yet!"</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She shudders at what she put her parents through as a wild teenager. "Now I have them, I know there are many complications that come with it. But I am just hoping that nobody will ever be as difficult as I was - and so far they are not."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Having watched this former wild child of Hollywood evolve into a devoted mother and humanitarian, you have to wonder what the next chapter of her life will look like.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Maybe watching my kids growing up makes me start to realise my own sense of play and joy has been put on hold a little bit," Jolie says. "Maybe them hitting their teens is going to bring out a little more fun in mum. Maybe I'm going back; maybe it's time."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">First They Killed My Father is released on September 15 on <span class="companylink">Netflix</span>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">CAMBODIA ON FILM</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Year Zero: The Silent Death of Cambodia (1979)</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The acclaimed documentary by Australian journalist John Pilger recounts the atrocities faced by the Cambodian people under the Khmer Rouge. Viewers were so affected at the time, they donated more than $73 million in aid to the country.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Killing Fields (1985)</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The only major studio film about the genocide earned seven Oscar nominations and won three, including best supporting actor Haing Ngor. The film, based on the book by journalist Sydney Schanberg, documents the experiences of the New York Times reporter (Sam Waterston) in Cambodia as the Khmer Rouge seized power and the relationship he formed with his Khmer counterpart, Dith Pran (Ngor).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001)</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the action adventure film that brought Angelina Jolie to Cambodia for the first time, she plays video game adventuress Lara Croft come to life as she races against time and villains to recover powerful ancient artefacts. The film also boosted tourism by shooting on locations including the Angkor Wat temple area and nearby town of Siem Reap.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Wish You Were Here (2012)</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Australian film, directed by Kieran Darcy-Smith, features four friends who lose themselves in a carefree Cambodian holiday but only three come home.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Cambodian Space Project: Not Easy Rock'n'Roll (2015)</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It's strange to think that Beatlemania hit Cambodia in the '60s and '70s but this documentary recounts a time when Khmer crowds were also big contemporary music fans - until the Khmer Rouge rose to power and all intellectuals, including musicians, were murdered. The film painstakingly documents what remains of the Cambodian pop scene. JCC</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Today, it's a glittering, huge city and a symbol of China's future; in 1939 it was a place of hope and survival for Jews fleeing the Nazis, writes Steve Meacham. </p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Peter Nash is looking at a photo of himself, aged 3, sitting with his mother on the first class deck of the SS Scharnhorst, a German liner his family had boarded in Genoa on April 26, 1939.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Being so young, Nash remembers nothing of that voyage, though the route took his family through the Suez Canal with stops at Colombo, Manila and Hong Kong before the Scharnhorst docked at its final destination: Shanghai.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"What I know is taken from the photos," says Nash, now 82 and the author of Escape from Berlin, an account of the years his family spent in wartime Shanghai. One by one, he goes through other photos taken by his parents, Herbert and Ingeborg Nachemstein, on that voyage of escape.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Here's the infant Peter posing in his cossie by the ship's swimming pool. Another captures his first game of table tennis (he later became an Australian university champion).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But if the three-year-old took the first class treatment in his stride - and he kept a copy of the Scharnhorst's children's menu, printed in German and English - the three-week voyage must have seemed utterly surreal to his Jewish parents. Despite their luxurious surroundings on the Scharnhorst, the Nachemsteins (his parents encouraged their only child to change his surname when they eventually arrived in Australia in 1949) were what we now call "<b>boat</b> people".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They too were persecuted refugees who had fled their homeland with little more than the clothes they stood up in. And they were disembarking - without visas, funds or prospects - at a Chinese port that had been invaded by the Imperial Japanese Army in 1937.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Why seek sanctuary in Shanghai? Because in those final few months before Hitler's invasion of Poland in September 1939 triggered World War II, the Chinese "open treaty port" was one of the few havens in the world which accepted refugees without an entry visa.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Today, this massive Chinese city is the glittering lantern of the 21st century Chinese commercial revolution, visited by thousands of Australian tourists and corporate executives every year. Yet few visitors realise the role an earlier Shanghai - exotic, toxic and chaotic - played in saving European Jews from the Holocaust. An estimated 18,000 Jews escaped the gas chambers of the Third Reich by reaching Shanghai. Most of those had been refused entry into countries like Australia, Britain, Canada and the United States.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The survivors call themselves "the Shanghailanders". For 60 years, they have shared regular newsletters (the Hongkew Chronicle), and various Rickshaw Reunions.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The infant Nash obviously didn't know the Scharnhorst would be one of the last liners to carry Jewish refugees from the Mediterranean to Shanghai (that escape route closed when war broke out). But the irony isn't lost on the adult Nash that his parents and grandparents - fleeing their "Motherland" because of the prejudices of fellow Germans - were "rescued" by a German ship.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They almost missed the <b>boat</b>. When the Nachemstein family was served with an eviction notice two weeks after the infamous Kristallnacht (in November 1938 when a thousand synagogues were destroyed), Herbert and Ingeborg tried to buy tickets to Argentina on the black market. When that failed, Ingeborg's father, Isidor Lewin (who died within a month of arriving in Shanghai), paid the first class fares for his daughter, son-in-law and grandson to join them on the Scharnhorst.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">What would have happened if his parents had missed that voyage? "Well, I wouldn't be talking to you now," says Nash at his home in Sydney's north shore, after another tiring day guiding tours around the Sydney Jewish Museum. "The alternative was almost certain annihilation. I never considered myself a Holocaust survivor until I started to research what happened to those members of my family who stayed in Europe."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Peter Witting also arrived in Shanghai in May 1939, aboard a similar ship, the SS Conte Verde, with parents George and Annie and sister Marion. His family, too, had fled Berlin, but Witting was 11 when the Conte Verde docked so has a better recollection of those early years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We arrived in luxury at The Bund, but then we were met by Jewish representatives and loaded onto flatbed trucks," recalls the Canberra-based Witting, now 89.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We were taken to the Heime [<b>refugee</b> camps converted from former military barracks]," Witting says. "We spent the first three nights in a room with 30 people packed into double bunk beds."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Wittings were fortunate. Relatives in South Africa had transferred money which allowed them to rent a single room in Hongkew (now Hongku). "Our family of four spent eight years in that one room."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Shanghai was then divided into four distinct zones along the northern banks of the Yellow River: the Old Chinese City, the French Concession, the International Settlement (immortalised in Steven Spielberg's movie of JG Ballard's novel, Empire of the Sun) and "the Chinese districts" which housed the vast bulk of the city's 4 million population.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There were various Shanghai Relief Aid Committees which received funds from a number of overseas donors. Most of the relief money came from the United States via the <span class="companylink">American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee</span>. A trickle of refugees from Europe had begun to arrive under the "open entry" policy from the mid 1930s. But by late 1939, it had become a flood.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"New arrivals were issued with a blanket, bed sheets, a tin dish, a cup and a spoon and were soon lining up in a soup kitchen," Nash explains. "Refugees often queued up wearing their good, heavy European clothing, the women still adorned in fashionable hats and gloves." </p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Meanwhile thousands of impoverished Chinese were pouring into Shanghai from the inland, seeking work. As Nash recalls: "Death was a constant presence and coolies pushed carts around the city every day picking up Chinese bodies."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Hongkew quickly became a magnet for any Jewish <b>refugee</b> who could scrape up enough money to leave the Heime. Once a densely populated Chinese district, it had been partially destroyed in the 1937 battles. Consequently, rents were relatively affordable. As streets were cleared and dwellings rebuilt, Hongkew became a predominantly Jewish district.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Like the Wittings, the Nachemsteins could only afford a single room in a terraced house in Hongkew. Their rent was subsidised by the AJJDC and Ingeborg was also allowed to collect a meagre family meal each day from the Heime kitchens, an arrangement which continued for two years. Some 4000 Jewish refugees fell into the same category.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Our room was about five metres by seven metres and contained two curtained-off beds, a sink, a stove, a table and a cupboard," Nash recalls. "My parents used large ice blocks in an Esky-type container as refrigeration. We shared an unsewered toilet and a bathtub with two other tenants. Every morning, Chinese workers picked up the toilet slops after announcing their arrival with familiar chants. The tap water was undrinkable and had to be boiled."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In November 1940, Ingeborg's sister Ruth and her husband Kurt arrived in Shanghai. By this time, the Shanghai authorities were trying to stem the tide of refugees by issuing entry visas. When Ruth finally received the paperwork, Kurt (a highly decorated German soldier in World War I) had been condemned to a concentration camp. In the nick of time, they had taken the only escape route - catching the train from Berlin to Moscow, boarding the Trans Siberian Express to Vladivostok, then a <b>boat</b> to Shanghai. Seven months later, Hitler launched Operation Barbarossa, declaring war on Stalin's Soviet Union. Now this escape route was closed too.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Despite the many privations the Shanghailanders suffered, they were spared anti-Semitism, according to Nash. Neither the Chinese nor the Japanese - raised in the traditions of Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism or Shintoism - treated Jews any differently to other foreigners.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That might have have taken a dramatic turn on December 7, 1941, when Japan bombed Pearl Harbour, bringing the US into the war. Suddenly Shanghai was swamped with Japanese personnel.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"A Japanese family moved into our terrace house, occupying the whole of the first floor where we had a single room," Nash recalls. "We were lucky as we only had to move into a similar room on the floor above. I remember the Japanese family was clean, tidy and polite."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Now they were at war, the Japanese targeted anyone who held American or British nationality. "Some Sephardic Jews from the Middle East or India had British passports, and were treated brutally," says Nash. "Not because they were Jewish, but because they were British."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The real change didn't come until March 1943. Under pressure from senior Nazis, the Japanese agreed to move all the stateless refugees into a "Designated Area". Since most Jews already lived in Hongkew, it became "the Shanghai Ghetto". Even then, conditions were much better than in the European ghettos.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"In terms of hostility from the Japanese to the Jews, there really was none," Nash says. "There were patrols around the perimeter of the Designated Area, but the people patrolling were Jewish. If you needed to leave the area - like my father did for his transport business - you had to get permission."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The one villain was the Japanese commander of the Designated Area, Kanoh Ghoya, who was known - disparagingly - as "King of the Jews". Both Nash and Witting remember him as a diminutive man with an even shorter temper. Sometimes his anger was so great he would climb on his desk and strike his victim across the face with a stick. At least one <b>refugee</b> - formerly a prominent surgeon in Berlin - committed suicide after the indignity he suffered.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Both Nash and Witting attended the Shanghai Jewish Youth Association School, established by the wealthy Kadoori family, Sephardic Jews originally from the Middle East who had built part of their commercial empire in Shanghai.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Shanghai was liberated by US troops in August 1945. Some of Nash's favourite memories of Shanghai are of escorting US sailors to the local brothels in return for being invited onto their ships and eating meals "the likes of which we had never seen before".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">With China now about to collapse into civil war - as the right wing forces of Chiang Kai-shek lined up against the Communist insurgence led by Mao Zedong - most occupants of the Shanghai Ghetto applied to the countries where they had originally sought sanctuary.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Australia didn't consider the Jews who had spent the war in Shanghai as genuine refugees," says Nash. "There was also suspicion that we might be communist.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We left for Australia on February 15, 1949, when our application was finally accepted. Our first stop in Australia was Cairns where I had my first vanilla-flavoured milkshake. What a delicious taste that was!" W</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Escape from Berlin by Peter Nash, Impact Press, $29.99.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">THE SHANGHAI SCHINDLERS</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Oskar Schindler, the German industrialist and Nazi Party member, is credited with saving the lives of 1200 Jews during the Holocaust. Three diplomats played a similar role in helping Jews to get to Shanghai. ■ Chiune Sugihara Japanese consul general in what is now Lithuania. According to the <span class="companylink">Simon Wiesenthal Centre</span>, at least 40,000 descendants are alive today because of the transit visas he issued to 6000 Jews - against the instructions of his Tokyo superiors. Between July 18 and August 1940, Sugihara spent 18 hours a day hand-writing exit visas allowing Jews to transit through Japan. Half of those he helped spent the war in Shanghai. Having run out of authentic visas, Sugihara threw signed sheets of paper stamped with his consular seal to the Jews waiting for him as the train left Lithuania to take him back to Japan. ■ Ho Feng-Shan Chinese consul general in Vienna.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After Austria had been annexed by the Nazis in 1938, the only way for the 200,000 Austrian Jews to escape was to receive an entry visa from a foreign nation. Against the orders of his direct superior in Berlin, Ho began issuing visas for refugees heading to Shanghai. By the time he was ordered to return to China in 1940, he had issued thousands of exit visas. ■ Tadeusz Romer Polish ambassador to Japan.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When many of Sugihara's Jews reached Japan, they could still have been returned to Nazi-occupied Poland. But Romer intervened, granting them new passports and visas to countries not involved in the war. When the Polish embassy was shut down in 1941, the Jews under his care were sent to Shanghai. W</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There are two notebooks. The covers are blue, and worn at the edges. One book is falling apart, the spine held together by tape. Both are 168 pages long, and each contains lists of names, one to a line, numbered and dated.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The first entry, back in 2001, records the name of the first person who sought help from the newly founded <b>Asylum</b> Seeker Resource Centre. The final entry is numbered 7579. The second book, which starts where the first ended in 2012, is filling up fast.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The number of people who have received assistance from the ASRC is now approaching 15,000. Many have also been assisted by a range of other community and church groups.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Each name represents a story, each name a life, a journey.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Kon Karapanagiotidis, founder and chief executive of the ASRC, flips through the pages of the first book. He lights up at individual names.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Most of the people named in the first book have received their permanent visas, but this one was forced to leave," he says sadly. "This one has been reunited with family and is thriving. That one has started a business that employs many workers."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The people named in the second book tell a different story.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Most remain on various forms of temporary visa. To understand their predicament requires a shift from names to statistics.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Many are among a group of about 24,500 <b>asylum</b> seekers, who arrived by <b>boat</b> in Australia between August 13, 2012, and July 18, 2013.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Their lives are on hold, subject to arbitrary policy changes," says Karapanagiotidis. "They are caught up in a nightmare. Some may be deported in the short term, and others may have to wait for years, if ever, before receiving permanent protection."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Early this week, the Department of Immigration and Border Protection, as directed by its minister, Peter Dutton, signalled yet another shift in policy. The new visa affects up to 410 <b>asylum</b> seekers who have been transferred to Australia from Nauru and Manus Island at various times since 2013 - for medical treatment, mental health issues, to give birth or accompany sick loved ones. Some of the transferred women had been raped on Nauru. The group includes 50 babies, 66 children, single men and women, and families.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Known as the "Final Departure Bridging E Visa", the first 65 recipients were summoned to the offices of the department and told they will lose their accommodation within three weeks and be immediately cut off from basic services.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The aim is to make them destitute," says Karapanagiotidis, "and make conditions so difficult that they will be forced back to Manus Island and Nauru, and returned to danger, the scene of their trauma."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On Monday morning, he called a meeting of staff to discuss this latest crisis. Even though the centre's resources are stretched well beyond its limits, the staff immediately agreed to take on the cases of <b>asylum</b> seekers affected by the new visa.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We have accompanied some of them to the department's offices. We've also tried to find at least one person willing to tell their story," says Kon. "They are confused, and too terrified. They fear they will be punished if they go public. They finally felt at home here, and had a chance to breath freely, make new friends, and regain trust. They had found a safe space to tell their story, face to face, with empathetic listeners. Now this. They are shattered.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The big story is that we cannot hear their story now. Worse still, they have been robbed of their stories and had them distorted. The minister has smeared them as con artists and fabricators, and accused them of robbing pensioners.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"They have been turned into ghosts. It is terrifying."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There has been one saving grace. Since the ASRC, and other community groups, posted details of the new visa on social media, the public response has been overwhelming. Many have expressed outrage and offered rooms for individuals, accommodation for entire families. Sanctuary. Others have offered employment, material aid, or contributed to the emergency appeal set up to help those affected.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There has been much talk about Australian values in recent times. Those who have responded to the crisis are expressing the universal principle of philoxenia, meaning, literally, friend of the stranger. It is the ancient custom of receiving the traveller, the passing seaman, the shipwrecked sailor. First the stranger is welcomed, fed and given a roof over their head. Only then are they asked questions.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This, for instance, is how Odysseus begins his epic story, as recounted in The Odyssey. He is washed up on the shores of the island of the Phaeacians. Only after his basic needs are taken care of does the king ask: "And now, speak and tell us truly: where have you been in your wanderings? . . . Did you meet hostile tribes with no sense of right and wrong, or did you fall in with hospitable and god-fearing people?"</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The practice of welcoming the stranger features in island and desert communities. There is a simple reason for this. Seafarers and desert travellers know that with just one shift in the wind, they too could become the stranger.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The displacement of peoples worldwide, fleeing persecution, is on the increase. It is a challenge which affects us all. At the heart of the challenge is the name and the story.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Karl Jung has said we all have a story to tell and the denial of this story leads to despair. Each of us, give or take a few generations, except for indigenous peoples, have a story of a forebear who arrived on these shores to begin life anew.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The men, women and children affected by the new visa should be allowed to stay, and those who remain marooned on Nauru and Manus Island, allowed to join them. They have suffered enough.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We all belong in the book of names.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It isn't Trump. Here's the US President, trying to get sense out of Malcolm Turnbull: "Why haven't you let them out? Why have you not let them into your society?"</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Here he is again, in the same 24-minute phone call earlier this year: "Maybe you should let them out of prison."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia's Prime Minister had to attempt to explain a policy that looks crazy from the outside and not much better from the inside.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">More <b>asylum</b> seekers have arrived by plane than by <b>boat</b> over the past 20 years, and yet it's the ones that arrive by <b>boat</b> who are almost always genuine. Ninety per cent of <b>boat</b> arrivals are found to be real refugees when their claims are processed, compared to less than half of those who arrive by air.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet we only make life impossible for the ones who arrive by boats.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Here's Turnbull trying to explain it to a disbelieving US President: "The only people that we do not take are people who come by <b>boat</b>. So we would rather take a not very attractive guy ... than to take a Nobel Peace Prize winner that comes by <b>boat</b>."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Trump: "What is the thing with boats? Why do you discriminate against boats? No, I know, they come from certain regions. I get it."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull: "No, let me explain why."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The explanation is that <b>asylum</b> seekers who come by boats are likely to pay people smugglers, and people smugglers let <b>asylum</b> seekers die at sea.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Stopping boats saves lives, in ways that stopping planes do not.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Because lives are very valuable, whatever we spend to stop the boats ought to be worthwhile, as ought whatever damage we inflict on people to do it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It's a cost-benefit calculation of the kind made all the time by governments planning new roads or railways or anything else that will cost or save lives. Yet the calculation has never been made explicit for offshore detention and the renewed onshore cruelty that accompanies it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Nor has a calculation compared it to alternative policies that might be able to achieve the same thing with fewer financial and human costs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Opposition isn't much use. It has broadly supported what the government is doing up until this week, when it has begun to make tiny noises about the plans to end support for the Australian-based <b>asylum</b> seekers who've come from Nauru and Manus Island for medical treatment.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So Melbourne University economist Tony Ward has stepped into the breach.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">His new book, Bridging Troubled Waters, sets out the costs and the benefits of what we are doing and what we could be doing instead.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Calculations from <span class="companylink">Save the Children Fund</span> and UNICEF put the total financial cost of our current suite of policies at $9.6 billion over the past four years and up to $5.6 billion over the next four. Offshore detention accounts for 95 per cent of the cost.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Coalition's Commission of Audit found it costs $440,000 per person per year, around $1200 per day. It costs only half that, $658 per day, to detain someone in Australia, and only about $300 to keep an Australian prisoner in an Australian prison, which is about what it costs to put someone up in a luxury hotel.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Processing someone's papers in the community is cheaper still, at around $250 per day. Handing out a bridging visa with support is even cheaper, at around $90 per day.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And offshore detention has other, harder to quantify, costs. You can't easily put a price on mental health, but you can work out which kind of detention damages people the most. The <span class="companylink">United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees</span> found 88 per cent of the residents in offshore detention suffered from a depressive or anxiety disorder or post-traumatic stress. Among <b>asylum</b> seekers living in Australia while their claims are processed the figure is as low as 52 per cent.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ward concludes that the extra billions spent on offshore detention didn't buy us less damaged people, they wrought greater damage.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But what about the benefits? As far as we know, in recent years we've had not a single death at sea. Under Labor there were 1100. But the saving of lives mightn't have been due to offshore detention, it might have been due to the (much cheaper) program of <b>boat</b> turn-backs that accompanied it. Few boats try to come to Australia now, even after offshore detention has been softened by the prime minister's announcement that some of those detained will be taken by America.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ward reckons a much cheaper way of saving lives would be to ditch offshore detention (saving $1.7 billion over four years) move locally-detained <b>asylum</b> seekers into the community more quickly (saving $1 billion), to spend more on turn-backs ($11 million) and more on regional co-operation ($150 million).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It's a human and financial saving worth having. If it fails, and deaths at sea resume, we can always reconsider.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Peter Martin is economics editor of The Age.</p>

</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Bill Shorten has dubbed the Coalition “cowardly and cruel” over its latest effort to encourage refugees and <b>asylum</b>-seekers back to Nauru and Manus Island. In other words — even after the trauma, tragedy and expense we have seen over border security in the past — the Opposition Leader is arguing those who arrive by <b>boat</b> and inveigle their way into this country should be allowed to stay. “It’s not the best way for Australia, it’s not the future which I see for this country,” he said of the government’s approach. This shows the ALP has failed to learn the lessons of this difficult issue across the decades. It means a Shorten Labor government, like the Rudd government before it, would weaken the nation’s border security regime and risk, once more, restarting the people-smuggling trade, leading to more <b>boat</b> arrivals and more lives being placed in jeopardy. It seems almost incomprehensible that we could be seeing this lunacy play out yet again.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Encouraged by <b>refugee</b> activists, who are constantly given an uncritical platform by our public broadcasters, Mr Shorten and the Greens seek to score political points by decrying the policies that have secured our borders, emptied most of the detention centres and halted this evil trade. The refugees and <b>asylum</b>-seekers Mr Shorten says are being treated with “cruelty” have first been intercepted and rescued by Australian vessels, then transferred to Nauru and Manus Island where they have been provided with healthcare, accommodation, education and allowances, and when they have sought a higher level of medical care they have been flown to our shores. Some, as Scott Morrison said yesterday, have “gamed the system” to travel to Australia; and once here they have used legal assistance to seek injunctions and remain. They have been given housing and welfare payments. This speaks not of cruelty but generosity.Immigration Minister Peter Dutton plans to cut this welfare to try to force these visitors back to Nauru and Manus Island, where they will be assessed for possible resettlement under the deals struck with the US and Cambodia. This, again, is not cruel treatment. Indeed, relocation to the US is more beneficent than anyone could have thought possible when offshore processing was hastily restored by the Labor government in 2012. The success of the Coalition’s tough border policies is undeniable. Labor said this problem could not be fixed. But it has been. This uncompromising policy targets the greater good of protecting lives, maintaining the integrity of our borders and immigration system, and restoring fairness to our <b>refugee</b> intake. The logic behind it is relatively simple: deny people-smugglers the product of passage to Australia and the business model is broken. Mr Shorten and other Labor MPs say they understand this policy and want to continue it. Yet they cannot help chipping away at it. If they effectively endorse medical treatment as a backdoor route to get to Australia and remain here, they will create doubt about the nation’s resolve and possibly create incentives for misadventure on Manus Island and Nauru. The ALP — and the ABC — ought to know better.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is ironic the federal government should appeal to Australians' sense of fairness in its attempt to justify its latest draconian treatment of refugees and <b>asylum</b> seekers. The government says it will save taxpayers tens of million of dollars with its decision to strip income support and shelter from close to 400 <b>asylum</b> seekers and refugees who needed critical medical attention unavailable in the appalling conditions they had endured for years under mandatory offshore detention.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Canberra would have us believe these people are a drain on the system. It is an unflattering attempt to place a financial fig leaf over a policy that denies to desperate people the humanity they are owed under international law and the universal principle of natural justice. The people seeking <b>asylum</b> include more than 100 babies and children, half of whom were born in Australia, and 20 women who have survived rape and other abuse.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government's primary motivation has nothing to do with fiscal rectitude. It is frustrated it has been legally prevented from forcing these people to return to the centres. It feels this undermines its anti-people-smuggler policy that nobody who seeks <b>asylum</b> via <b>boat</b> will ever be allowed to live in Australia, a policy the Coalition is proud of and one that has undoubtedly been popular with voters.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So, it has created a visa - the "final departure bridging E visa" - under which the $200-a-week income support some were receiving ends and they will be homeless in three weeks. Some are permitted to work, but the new policy is an evident impediment to finding and holding employment. The government, in other words, is seeking to make people already fleeing persecution in their homelands so uncomfortable here in Australia that they will prefer the camps or even returning to the nations they escaped.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Particularly cruel is the edict to get out of community housing within three weeks. Such rude haste bears a whiff of desperation. An ill-judged policy designed to evict people who, in many cases, are already traumatised is rendered even more unjust by the apparent lack of opportunity to appeal. Offshore detention has cost taxpayers $5 billion and counting. Keeping a <b>refugee</b> in a centre costs half a million dollars a year. Processing in the community is $15,000.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">These latest measures are harsh, but show weakness. Preventing people from dying at sea can largely be done via assiduous use of border protection. The solution lies not in a policy that treats people unconscionably in order to deter others, but in creating resettlement centres in the region.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Rather than being targeted, the 400 people facing such a terrible situation should be treated humanely; harming them is an unacceptable form of deterrence.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia's latest <b>asylum</b> policy appears to be deportation by destitution. By cutting financial support from 100 <b>asylum</b> seekers and issuing a new "final departure Bridging E Visa", the government is putting vulnerable people at risk of homelessness and privation. This might seem like an act with purely domestic consequences. But Australia's harsh <b>asylum</b> policies impact not only on those individuals living onshore and in limbo, or held on Manus or Nauru. They also have a deep and abiding impact on the nation's international reputation, which matters. Earlier this year, the <span class="companylink">United Nations Human Rights Council</span> heard evidence of " deteriorating mental health, homelessness and destitution" among <b>asylum</b> seekers living in the Australian community. Special Rapporteur for the human rights of migrants, Francois Crepeau, told the council that Australia's <b>asylum</b> policies "blemish" the country's human rights record.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph"> Now, removing welfare and shelter from this small group of <b>asylum</b> seekers will exacerbate their plight and stretch what Crepeau recognised as the dedication and energy of civil society organisations.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The irony is, Australia's international credibility in humanitarian affairs is essential to achieving what the government wants from its current <b>asylum</b> policy. In 2016, the Obama administration agreed to the Turnbull government's request to consider resettling refugees from Manus and Nauru in the US only because of Australia's status as "a leader in humanitarian assistance and <b>refugee</b> resettlement globally".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This status was earned long ago, through Australia's principled leadership in <span class="companylink">UN</span> and regional forums on forced migration, and through the key role Australia played in the resettlement of refugees from Indochina in the 1970s. Today's policies were put on the table then, too, but the Fraser government rejected them. Records show the then-government determined that cutting welfare support for <b>asylum</b> seekers would be "widely regarded as a vindictive measure", and would never deter people in need of protection.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In recent years, successive Australian governments have tried to argue that the nation's historic standing and long-running resettlement program offsets the harsh treatment of <b>asylum</b> seekers who arrive by <b>boat</b>. Yet Manus and Nauru do not go unnoticed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Indeed, former deputy secretary of state Heather Higginbottom said the Obama administration made clear to Australia that "we disagreed with their policy of detention". Most tellingly, Higginbottom wrote in Time magazine that the administration "strongly pressed" Australia to change its <b>asylum</b> policy. The US agreed to the transfer deal in order to "immediately relieve the suffering" of those held offshore and to encourage Australia to do more for <b>refugee</b> resettlement efforts around the world.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The former deputy secretary's account is a glimpse behind the scenes, a hint at the way Australia's <b>asylum</b> policy intersects with its international diplomacy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the coming months and years, Australia's international standing will become increasingly important. As world-leading <b>refugee</b> lawyer Professor Guy S Goodwin-Gill put it, credible, multilateral mechanisms must be developed to deal with "major displacement in the years ahead, both generated by conflict and generated by deprivation".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The removal of welfare support is designed to force this small group of <b>asylum</b> seekers - children, families, young women and men - off Australian shores.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Either back to Nauru or Manus, where the Human Rights Council has been told they face little future and potentially serious mental health issues.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Or back to the countries they fled, a potential breach of Australia's obligations under international law; the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has described Australian <b>asylum</b> policy as leading to "a chain of human rights violations".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Despite Minister for Human Services Alan Tudge suggesting the measure will save taxpayer dollars, that payment of $200 a fortnight surely made more difference to these vulnerable families than it will ever do to government coffers, particularly when the cost of holding people offshore is exponentially higher than keeping them in Australia.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Human Services Minister Alan Tudge​ has defended the move, declaring the <b>asylum</b> seekers won't be receiving any further taxpayer support, and will have to return to Nauru, Manus Island or their own country.</p>

<span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span> revealed on Sunday leaked government documents that showed the Immigration Department will issue dozens of <b>asylum</b> seekers, who were transferred to Australia from offshore detention for medical reasons, with a new visa known as the "final departure Bridging E Visa".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Under the new visa conditions, income support of about $200 a fortnight will cease on Monday and a three-week deadline to move out of government-supported accommodation will be imposed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In total, there are about 400 <b>asylum</b> seekers and their children living in Australia at present after medical transfers from offshore processing and, eventually, all of them may be subject to the tough new visa rules. The <b>asylum</b> seekers will be able to work until they leave the country.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor immigration spokesman Shayne Neumann said the move by the Turnbull government to cut financial and housing support was a new low and "even more proof of Peter Dutton's incompetence in the management of offshore processing centres and his failure to negotiate other third country resettlement options".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"By purposefully making these people destitute and homeless, the Turnbull government can only be exacerbating the health conditions which <b>asylum</b> seekers were originally transferred to Australia to be treated for," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The long term issue of these people being in Australia could be avoided entirely if Peter Dutton simply let these <b>asylum</b> seekers apply to resettle in the United States but he has denied them that opportunity."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Turnbull government and the Obama administration struck a deal for the US to consider taking up to 1250 <b>asylum</b> seekers from Manus Island and Nauru.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While President Donald Trump has lashed the "dumb deal", he has not walked away from it - as a leaked transcript of Mr Trump and Malcolm Turnbull's first phone call revealed - but so far, no <b>asylum</b> seekers have been sent to the US, either, as vetting of the applicants continues.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor defence spokesman Richard Marles​, a former immigration minister, said all of the <b>asylum</b> seekers still on Manus Island and Nauru should have been resettled by now.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He added that "Australia has an obligation to provide care" to <b>asylum</b> seekers in the country, or on Manus or Nauru, but that "it's very important that Australia remains off the table" as a destination for would-be <b>asylum</b> seekers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Tudge said the <b>asylum</b> seekers facing the tough new visa conditions had received medical treatment in Australia "and consequently now they are required to go back to Nauru, or to PNG, or indeed back to their home country".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"That is what this is about, and it is consistent ... with the principle that anybody who arrives by <b>boat</b> to our shores, won't be settled in Australia; they will be settled elsewhere. That is what this is about," he told the ABC.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I cannot confirm the precise number; but it is right that now that they have had their medical treatment in Australia, that they will be required to return to Nauru, to Papua New Guinea, or back to their home country. And there won't be the further provision of taxpayer support in Australia."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Manus Island processing centre is set to be shut down by October 31.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph"><b>ASYLUM</b> seekers are using a medical scam to live rent-free in five-bedroom homes across Sydney, where they are getting a better deal than pensioners and have been caught spending taxpayers’ hard-earned cash on prostitutes.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Immigration Minister Peter Dutton declared “the con is up” for illegal <b>boat</b> people from Manus and Nauru using “tricky legal moves” to stay in Australia after medical treatment and costing us $40 million a year to house, feed and pay them a salary.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Up to 70 illegal <b>boat</b> people will today be told their free and easy lifestyles will no longer be covered by the Australian taxpayer while seeking medical treatment, with their salary cut off immediately and their free housing ending in the next three weeks.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“They were brought to Australia on the premise that once their medical needs were met they would return to Nauru or Manus,” Mr Dutton told The Daily Telegraph.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The medical care has been provided and through tricky legal moves they are now prevented from being returned to their country of origin, Manus or Nauru. In some cases, this con has been going on for years, costing the Australian taxpayer tens of thousands of dollars for each individual and seeing them receive more welfare, including housing, than pensioners who have worked here all their lives.” The Daily Telegraph can reveal some of the enviable properties the <b>asylum</b> seekers are staying in rent-free after taking out an injunction to stop the government from sending them back to Manus or Nauru once they have completed medical treatment.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One five-bedroom home in Castle Hill, with a large garden, is valued at $1.5 million, while another in Parramatta has three bedrooms, two lockup garages, a garden and comes complete with glossy wooden floors.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The game is up for these people who want to take us for a ride,” Mr Dutton said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">An average Australian pensioner, who has worked and paid taxes all their life, receives a maximum rate of just over $800 a fortnight, but needs to pay their housing, power bills and healthcare costs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">By contrast, the freeloaders targeted by Mr Dutton receive a household goods package of $2350, income support of $300 a fortnight, moving costs of $300 and free housing, power bills and healthcare. They are also entitled to an energy payment of $1000.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Each <b>asylum</b> seeker is costing taxpayers up to $120,000 a year and, in total, their subsidised lifestyle is costing hardworking Aussies $40 million a year. And their free lifestyle comes despite the fact they were able to afford to pay people smugglers $10,000 each to be brought to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Dutton said the group of 70 will be placed on Final Departure Bridging visas, which stipulate they need to support themselves until they leave the country. It means they have work rights and access to Medicare, but will need to find their own accommodation and pay for it, unless they decide to return to Manus or Nauru or their country of origin.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">More than 400 <b>asylum</b> seekers have been transferred from Nauru and Manus to Australia for temporary medical treatment. Once here, most took out injunctions to try to ensure they did not have to return. The Daily Telegraph can reveal some of the most egregious examples of people exploiting the system.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One Iranian arrived in Australia from a regional processing centre after requesting medical treatment. When this was finished, he was moved into community detention where he “displayed criminal sexual behaviour” towards a female case worker. He claimed he was under financial stress because he had spent all the money he was given by the government on prostitutes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In another case, an Iraqi man was transferred to Australia for treatment after a stomach complaint. After being declared healthy to return, he launched legal action preventing this. His wife and children still live in Iraq.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">CASE STUDIES THE SEX PEST An Iranian male was transferred from a regional processing centre for medical treatment. He was moved into community detention after treatment was completed which was revoked after he displayed criminal sexual behaviour towards a female case worker. When questioned about it he said he was in financial stress because he spent all of the money the government gave him on prostitutes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">THE STOMACH ACHE An Iraqi man was transferred from a regional processing centre for medical treatment for a stomach complaint.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Once it was completed he was independently assessed as medically fit to return, but he has taken legal action preventing this. His wife, children and parents all live in Iraq.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">THE LINGERER A Sri Lankan national was transferred from a regional processing centre for treatment of arthritis and rashes. He has been found not to be a <b>refugee</b> through several processes, but refuses to leave.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Even though the government saw the High Court refuse a challenge from human rights advocates for a big group of <b>asylum</b> seekers living here for medical reasons to remain in Australia, Naomi said it appeared to be happy enough to let many of them stay in the community. For Samuel, this has meant enjoying all Sydney and Australia has to offer. Visits to the zoo and playing with other kids in a nearby park have been highlights of his young life.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The prospect of their meagre income support and accommodation disappearing has Naomi despairing about what the future might hold for her family and, in particular, what Samuel stands to lose. "My husband and I have been through so much," she said. "The experience of Nauru traumatised us. But we are very proud of ourselves that our son was born in Australia and has had the privilege of possibilities here; the fresh air, the freedom."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A spokesman for Immigration Minister Peter Dutton said "every IMA [Illegal Maritime Arrival] transferred from a regional processing centre to Australia for temporary medical assistance was aware that once their medical needs were met they would return to Nauru or Manus". He said people would be assessed on a case-by-case basis.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Opposition Leader Bill Shorten has slammed the plan to end income and accommodation support, describing the move as Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull's "weakest move yet". In a strongly worded rebuke, Mr Shorten said the decision was a "new low" from the government.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Shorten said that kicking people onto the streets with no support is "needlessly cruel and really, really dumb". "It won't fix anything. It's just hurting vulnerable and sick people for the sake of it," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Human Services Minister Alan Tudge has defended the move, declaring the <b>asylum</b> seekers won't be receiving any further taxpayer support. Mr Tudge said the <b>asylum</b> seekers facing the new conditions had received medical treatment in Australia "and consequently now they are required to go back to Nauru, or to PNG, or indeed back to their home country".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"That is what this is about, and it is consistent ... with the principle that anybody who arrives by <b>boat</b> to our shores, won't be settled in Australia; they will be settled elsewhere. That is what this is about," he told the ABC.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Greens have vowed to try and use <span class="companylink">Parliament</span> to stop the government's move. Leader Richard Di Natale said on Sunday the minor party was seeking advice on whether the use of a new "final departure Bridging E Visa" - expected to be issued to <b>asylum</b> seekers from Monday - can be overturned when the Senate returns in a week's time. "We do call on members of the crossbench and the Labor Party to support us in doing everything we can to stop this unspeakable cruel act getting through the Senate," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Human rights lawyers believe that about 370 people, including more than 50 babies born in Australia and 66 children born overseas, are highly likely to be captured by the government's decision to place new bridging visa conditions on dozens of <b>asylum</b> seekers as of Monday. The cohort also includes 83 single men and 14 single women. More than 20 of the <b>asylum</b> seeker women have suffered sexual assault or rape in their past. "This decision is about politics not people," said Amy Frew, a lawyer at the Human Rights Law Centre. "It is unconscionable to force families to choose between homelessness or certain harm in the offshore detention centres. We have had to advise all of our clients, 370 people, nearly one-third of which are children, that it appears that the government will force them out of their homes, leaving them destitute and homeless. These families are living in our communities. Building their lives. They have woken today to terrifying news. There are kids who will be in classrooms this week who on Sunday woke up to incredible uncertainty. They will be confused and afraid."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The <b>asylum</b> seekers captured by the "final departure" visa conditions all tried to enter Australia by <b>boat</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The majority are Iranians, Syrians and Afghanis from minority backgrounds. There are also Sri Lankan Tamils and people from the Burmese minority group Rohingya.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Under the new visa conditions, children will still be able to go to school until they turn 18. Those aged over 18 are denied any educational opportunities. Those issued with the new visa conditions will be given work rights in order for them to try to earn an income to pay for accommodation, food and other expenses while they remain in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They will also have some medical support and access to a case officer.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government's move is expected to place further burdens on church and charity groups.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As Naomi and many other <b>asylum</b> seeker mothers like her face uncertain times ahead, she is putting her faith in the Australian people to help her son have the best shot at a safe and productive life.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"People can use their voice to help the government change their mind about how they are treating us," she said.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Bill Shorten has drawn a line in the sand over Labor's support for the Coalition's approach to <b>asylum</b> seekers by labelling plans to effectively throw hundreds of people on the street as cowardly, cruel and inhumane.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Following revelations by <span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span> on Sunday that <b>asylum</b> seekers transferred to Australia for medical reasons will have all income support withdrawn almost immediately, Mr Shorten said Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull had found a new low.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Kicking people onto the streets with no support is needlessly cruel and really, really dumb. It won't fix anything. It's just hurting vulnerable and sick people for the sake of it," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"This act has nothing to do with strong borders or stopping people smugglers. It's a weak Prime Minister trying to look tough. That's it. Malcolm, this is not strong. This is cowardly and cruel. It's your weakest move yet."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Shorten did not suggest the <b>asylum</b> seekers, who came by <b>boat</b>, be allowed to settle in Australia, but either be resettled in the United States under the tenuous deal with Washington, or another country in the region.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government confirmed on Sunday that 100 <b>asylum</b> seekers transferred from the detention centres in Manus Island or Nauru for medical or humanitarian reasons, will have their income support of $200 a fortnight terminated on Monday and they will be given three weeks before being evicted from government-supported accommodation. Up until now, these people have not been allowed to work. They will be allowed to work if they choose to stay but they will be required to adhere to a code of behaviour and given a visa known as a "final departure Bridging E Visa".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The move, slammed by human rights groups, aims to force the <b>asylum</b> seekers back to Manus Island, Nauru, or their home country. The eviction notice applies to about 100 <b>asylum</b> seekers but human rights groups believe the remaining 300 will be next.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Hugh de Kretser, executive director at the Human Rights Law Centre, called it "a shocking act of cruelty" akin to starving them out.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Human Services Minister Alan Tudge defended the move as consistent with the principle that anybody who arrived by <b>boat</b> would not be settled in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"They will be settled elsewhere. That's what this is about," he said. Mr Shorten's condemnation means Labor is likely to join the Greens in the Senate in any bid to disallow the order which has been imposed by regulation. Another three crossbench votes would be required. Greens leader Richard Di Natale was investigating whether this mechanism could be employed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While the government will seek to exploit any such move by Labor as it being "weak on border protection", the stance will be especially welcomed by Labor's Left faction, elements of which have grown increasingly uncomfortable with the Opposition's hardline stance on <b>asylum</b> seekers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Meanwhile, Mr Turnbull, seeking a distraction from the dual citizenship chaos which has gripped his government, will spend the week focused on energy policy. This will begin on Monday with a visit to the Snowy-Hydro facility where the government will promise extra funding for the feasibility study into expanding the plant's generation capacity.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He also wants countries of ­migration to provide newcomers with healthcare, education, pension plans, money to live on and the ability to open bank accounts.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In opposition to strong, effective border-protection policies of countries such as Australia, he said: “For the sake of the fundamental dignity of every human person, we must strive to find ­alternative solutions to detention for those who enter a country without authorisation.’’ Children, he said, “must be spared from any form of detention related to migratory status, and must be guaranteed regular access to primary and secondary education”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Equally, when they come of age they must be guaranteed the right to remain and to enjoy the possibility of continuing their studies,” the Pope added. “Temporary custody or foster programs should be provided for unaccompanied minors and ­minors.’’ The Pope said he wanted to encourage “a determined effort to promote the social and professional inclusion of migrants and refugees, guaranteeing for all — including those seeking <b>asylum</b> — the possibility of employment, language instruction and active citizenship, together with sufficient information provided in their mother tongue”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Francis issued the controversial statement on August 15, in an promotion for the church’s World Day of Immigrants and Refugees on January 14. In a line that would delight the Greens, he urged Catholics to lobby governments to adopt open border policies.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Many Catholics are less than thrilled, however. An angry priest who drew The Australian’s attention to the statement said it would soon be impossible to fit another <b>boat</b> into the Mediterranean.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Muslim terrorists will be able to walk across to Spain and Italy,’’ he said. “He clearly hates ­Europe.’’ In Rome, former Italian senator and psychiatrist Allesandro Meluzzi said the Pope could “distribute passports to all the people he wanted’’ in the Vatican “seeing as it is a sovereign state. As ­regards citizenship in the Italian republic, ... I find this an improper and very serious interference.’’ Dr Meluzzi said the Pope’s suggestion was “a monstrosity at a time of indiscriminate, violent and dangerous Afro-Islamic invasion.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Beyond the specific content, which would bring about never-ending problems, it would be an ulterior impetus for millions of people to come to Italy uncontrolled ... The only outcome will be the Islamisation of Europe and Italy. I don’t think this is a good idea for a Pope. He will have to answer to history for this and more than likely to God.’’A spokesman for Immigration Minister Peter Dutton yesterday defended Australia’s immigration program, saying it was one of the most generous and compassionate intakes in the world.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ben’s real name is Behnam Moghimi Kivaj. He is from Iran and has formed a close-knit group of friends, including Nouhad Al Aboudi from Iraq, Zubio Kham Orakzai from Pakistan, and Walid Zazai, who all tried to get to Australia by <b>boat</b> and have been detained in PNG for up to four years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Recently, they made another <b>boat</b> trip – this time to a nearby island off Manus for a “two-day holiday”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Shirtless, looking bronzed and frolicking in clear, blue waters, Ben and his mates ham it up for the camera.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In one photo, they bury one their mates, Imran Khan, in sand. His mate Mr Zazai, an <b>asylum</b> seeker with designer stubble and gold-rimmed, aviator sunglasses and an ­on-trend white shirt, later posts on <span class="companylink">Facebook</span> about their trip in May.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I had a lovely 2 days holidays with my lovely, cute, beautiful and best ever friends.” Their posts about the trip include “drinking coconut water ... yumm” and “what a pleasant time hanging with friends”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After the trip, they returned to Manus Island and have ramped up their ­campaign against the Turnbull Government and the ­detention centre, which will be bulldozed by the end of October.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the GetUp! ad, which started running on TV stations and You Tube on Sunday, Ben says: “I’m asking for an SOS. Malcolm Turnbull, you know PNG is not safe. You know Nauru is not safe. You need to evacuate us.” Their own <span class="companylink">Facebook</span> pages accuse Immigration Minister Peter Dutton of having “blood on his hands” and demand the detention centres be closed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They will have the option of resettling in PNG, returning home or possibly resettling in the US.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ironically, now the detention centre will be closed, Mr Zazai, does not want to leave and posted on <span class="companylink">Facebook</span> just days ago: “I’m ­losing myself to these harsh policies. It’s eating me from the inside slowly slowly. Australian immigration want to dump us in PNG where we aren’t safe”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Nationals Senator Barry O’Sullivan, a former Queensland police officer, said the pictures provided a different story to those told by activists and the Human Rights Commission.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The pictures show people living in quite idyllic locations. I’m not pretending it’s Club Med ... but these people aren’t in chains (as some activists like to portray),’’ Senator O’Sullivan said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“They are not under stress or trauma,’’ he said, when referring to the images.GetUp! has long protested against regional processing detention centres, which they describe as “expensive, harmful and heartless experiments – and yet, they remain open, and supported by our major parties”.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Former deputy secretary of state Heather Higginbottom has given an insight into how the secretive <b>refugee</b>-swap deal between the allies came about, while revealing the United States, under former president Barack Obama, wanted to "bring relief" to <b>asylum</b> seekers held on Nauru and Manus Island.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The deal was the subject of a tense first phone call between President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, and which Mr Trump labelled "stupid", "rotten", "horrible" and "disgusting".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Ms Higginbottom, writing for Time magazine, said it was struck with humanitarian solutions in mind, by an administration uncomfortable with Australia's stance.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"While the last administration strongly pressed the Australian government to change its policy towards <b>asylum</b> seekers, we also sought to immediately relieve the suffering of these refugees and agreed to resettle up to 1200 after they went through the <span class="companylink">US government</span>'s rigorous <b>refugee</b> screening processes," wrote Ms Higginbottom, who now serves as the chief operating officer of CARE.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We also made clear that, while we disagreed with their policy of detention, Australia is a critical ally, particularly in the Pacific, and a leader in humanitarian assistance and <b>refugee</b> resettlement globally.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I only know all this because of my former role as deputy secretary of state, not because of anything I am reading in the newspapers or watching on television, and that's part of the problem. If we don't even discuss the underlying facts of international debates and disagreements, how are we ever going to build anything resembling consensus to address them?"</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Immigration Minister Peter Dutton's office did not respond to requests for comment.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The <span class="companylink">United Nations <b>refugee</b> agency</span> has repeatedly criticised Australia's policy, but Ms Higginbottom's comments are the first to reveal the US also had issue with it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In contrast to Mr Turnbull, who, in a leaked transcript of his conversation with Mr Trump called the <b>asylum</b> seekers "economic refugees", Ms Higginbottom, who said she was the Obama administration official responsible for negotiating the agreement with Australia, had a different view.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"These are people who risked their lives on makeshift boats to flee conflict and the lack of access to basic means of survival, but were turned back by an Australia government that refuses <b>asylum</b> seekers who arrive by sea," she said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"As we fuss and fret over the clash of presidential and prime ministerial personalities, actual human beings suffer."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull admitted when talking to Mr Trump "the only reason we cannot let them into Australia is because of our commitment to not allow people to come by <b>boat</b>".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Otherwise we would have let them in. If they had arrived by airplane and with a tourist visa then they would be here," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In return for the US agreeing to vet up to 1250 people in Australia's detention centres, with the "good faith" agreement that those who pass will be accepted, Australia will accept Central American refugees the US can't settle.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Basically, we are taking people from the previous administration they were very keen on getting out of the US," Mr Turnbull told Mr Trump. "We will take more. We will take anyone you want us to take."</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One afternoon in the middle of the sea, from a crowded rubber <b>boat</b>, Stefanie Pender was handed a small bundle of blankets.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She folded back the layers and underneath found a sleeping newborn baby, not half a day old. The baby's mother, she soon discovered, had died in childbirth on a Libyan beach. "Ten hours old and motherless," Pender recalls, "floating in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. "That baby made it to safety."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There was no time to reflect due to an incident on another <b>boat</b>, one of 22 that had made it into international waters off the Libyan coast that day. (Eight were never found.)</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">All nearby aid vessels were full to capacity.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"It was just a quick check in this weird situation," says Pender, a 28-year-old Australian doctor who was volunteering on one of those ships. Her job was to perform the first scan for medical emergencies on <b>refugee</b> boats they intercepted. "The baby looked OK."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But the moment "particularly sticks" with her, she says. "I think that's the pinnacle of the whole crisis. For me it just feels like every mother in the world has the right to meet their baby. It's just a horrible situation, the difference that exists."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The difference between us, writing and reading this story, and the people it is about. That mother, left dead on an African beach, as her child tried without knowing to reach sanctuary.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Pender doesn't want this to be a political story. She says it is a humanitarian story. It is about desperate people who need rescue, who are fleeing abuse, torture and slavery. She has seen in the marks on their bodies, and has heard snatches of personal stories while treating them</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She wants this story to be about women like Virtue.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the scariest moment of Pender's life, a <b>boat</b> was sinking even as they approached it. About 50 people were in the water. The surface of the sea was filmy with gasoline, which was inhaled by those in the water, wrecking their lungs, preventing them from getting enough oxygen.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Pender was on the main <b>boat</b> as body after body was pulled from the water and "flopped" ominously onto the deck. They raced them into the ship's medical room. Many were barely breathing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I didn't think she'd make it," Pender says of Virtue, who was in respiratory failure.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After six hours of oxygen and care, Virtue improved a little. She asked about her baby. She was six months pregnant. Pender found it hard to bring herself to check, but Virtue said she felt it moving.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So Pender listened for a heartbeat. And heard it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"It was the most beautiful sound in the whole Mediterranean."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Later that night Pender had to identify another pregnant woman. She had been on the same <b>boat</b> as Virtue, but didn't survive.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"No one knows her story."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For the last three months Pender has been working in one of the most politicised patches of water on the planet.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Though the numbers are slightly down on last year, still thousands of migrants try to cross from North Africa to Europe, and thousands die in the attempt.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On the latest United Nations data, there have been 2408 migrant deaths in the Mediterranean in 2017, with 116,692 arriving in Europe by sea. More than nine out of 10 arrived in Italy - and a third of those were rescued by aid organisations, whose boats patrol the "search and rescue zone" off the Libyan coast.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Italy gets more and more migrants it struggles to provide for, as its neighbours shut their borders and refuse to take a share. The country has tried to impose a code of conduct on aid boats that would restrict their operations, with some Italian prosecutors and politicians accusing NGOs of providing a taxi service for migrants - and by extension traffickers. Europe provided resources to encourage Libya to intercept boats on their way north.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That's the macro story.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Pender has seen it in action. She has stood terrified on a flimsy rubber speedboat as a Libyan gunship bore down on her, determined to stop her helping the desperate people she was about to rescue.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And last week she was interrogated by Italian police after the Iuventa, the ship she had been working on for her third rescue mission, was seized and then confiscated, accused of colluding with people smugglers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In a Skype call from Malta, Pender is diplomatic and cautious. She tells me, as she told the police, that she saw nothing untoward or odd in the mission, and she was worried the seizure of the <b>boat</b> would prevent them saving lives.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"It's just a distraction from the real issues ... the fact that people are dying almost daily in the Mediterranean," she says. "It's part of the toxic narrative and these attacks [the accusations that NGOs are collaborating with people smugglers] have already been refuted." She provides me with an account of Iuventa's seizure, co-written with a colleague, that makes it clear she suspects foul play.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Events of the past few days have forced us to question the integrity and priorities of European search and rescue authorities," they wrote. They outlined a complicated series of events involving the transfer of rescued migrants, a strangely fruitless search and rescue mission, and then the impounding of the ship operated by the German charity Jugend Rettet (literally "youth rescues").</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The MRCC, the official centre in Rome that co-ordinates rescues in the Mediterranean, "either dangerously mismanaged the rescue operation or had other motivations for their decisions", they wrote.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">None of the three incidents being investigated took place during Pender's mission. Trapani prosecutor Ambrogio Cartosio, who briefed media on the allegations about Iuventa, said his "personal conviction" was that the aid group's motive was humanitarian, and it "would be fantasy to say there was a co-ordinated plan between the NGOs and the Libyan traffickers".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Pender studied medicine in Melbourne and worked there for a year, then the last two years in Darwin. She hasn't specialised yet, but a lot of her work in Darwin is in women's health.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She was on a course in Europe earlier this year when a friend of a friend asked if she was interested in working on a Mediterranean rescue <b>boat</b>. The German group Sea-Watch needed a doctor at the last minute.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"And the next week I was on a <b>boat</b>," Pender says, laughing at the memory of how abrupt it was. She had little idea what she was getting into - the first of her three rescue missions to date.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She has seen extreme dehydration, people who have been exposed to the sun for days or sitting in a corrosive, poisonous mixture of salt water, engine fuel and human waste. Some had fresh wounds from whatever happened to them before (or when) they boarded the <b>boat</b>. She's had to deal with very sick or unconscious people, sometimes performing CPR in the speedboat. Back on the main ship she is usually flat out treating the sick, handing out food and water. But she has heard stories from women of the slave camps in Libya, of "being sexually abused almost nightly, a lot of violence and being forced to work for little or no money or just a bit of food".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I just had so many medical things to do that I didn't really get to delve into the stories, but from what I can understand Libya is just hell on earth."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She has seen relief and a lot of joy in those rescued. "Far above all, I am deeply touched and inspired by the beautiful people I met - their stories, strength, perseverance and remarkable ability against their horror to manage a smile and keep hope," she wrote home in a letter to her brother, who was helping raise money for Sea-Watch.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But some were beyond relief: children so traumatised they no longer cried. She's treated a 13-year-old boy who was so malnourished he looked about five, sitting in a rubber <b>boat</b> by himself.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"He came from South Sudan and he told [other migrants] both his parents were dead. I have no idea how he ended up in Libya and how he ended up on that <b>boat</b>. Basically it was this little tiny 13-year-old boy, completely alone in the middle of the ocean. And that was ... it really broke my heart."</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Bill Shorten was a big union donor to GetUp! when it was ­established, giving about $100,000, possibly more, to the left-leaning activist group.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The revelation, confirmed for the first time to The Weekend Australian, follows the federal Labor leader’s persistent refusal to make any comment over what support he provided to GetUp! when he was in charge of the <span class="companylink">Australian Workers Union</span>.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Shorten was a founding board member of GetUp! when it was launched in August 2005 as an “independent, grassroots, community advocacy organisation” to campaign on progressive issues.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">GetUp!’s most trenchant ­critics have claimed it is a “front” for the Labor Party, unions and sometimes the Greens, despite a past ruling by the <span class="companylink">Australian Electoral Commission</span> that it could not find any evidence GetUp! was an associated entity.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Senior sources from GetUp! and Mr Shorten’s former union have ­confirmed he was personally behind an AWU donation of about $100,000 and “the only union” to provide seed funding among four big donors when GetUp!’s co-founders sought start-up capital.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Other key donors at GetUp!’s inception included then Unions NSW chief John Robertson. As head of his state’s peak union council, Mr Robertson never made any secret that his organisation contributed $50,000.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">GetUp! insiders have told The Weekend Australian that wealthy entrepreneur and former Victorian Labor MP Evan Thornley donated more than $100,000 as start-up funds for GetUp!, and private equity investor and former SBS chairman Joe Skrzynski contributed a similar sum.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">GetUp!, which says it relies on small individual donations for its campaigns, has released figures on large donors only since legal requirements from 2007.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">During the 2010 election campaign, GetUp! received a record $1.12m donation from the <span class="companylink">Construction Forestry Mining and Energy Union</span>. The funds were earmarked for a national TV ad, authorised by GetUp!, that attacked then opposition leader Tony Abbott over his alleged ­“archaic” views on women.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">With no mention of the CFMEU, an ALP affiliate and big Labor donor, the ad that ran during the election campaign was later blasted by critics as evidence that GetUp! was partisan.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A group of Coalition senators asked the <span class="companylink">Australian Electoral Commission</span> to find that GetUp! operated “wholly or to a significant extent to the benefit of one or more of the registered political parties”, and had a reporting obligation to lodge annual returns as an “associated entity”. The AEC rejected the senators’ complaint, finding a lack of evidence.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In last year’s federal election campaign, GetUp! targeted the Queensland seat of Dickson held by Liberal Immigration Minister Peter Dutton, and its campaign is credited with turning his previously safe seat into a marginal one. It is understood GetUp! is already campaigning to oust him at the next election, due in 2019, because of his firm stand on offshore detention for <b>asylum</b>-seekers ­arriving by <b>boat</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">GetUp! is also credited with costing Tasmanian Liberal Andrew Nikolic his seat of Bass at last year’s election.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Two years ago, when the matter of donations to GetUp! surfaced during hearings of the royal commission into union corruption, Mr Shorten and GetUp! refused to comment on the nature of the Labor leader’s AWU support. The activist group’s first annual report for 2005-06 was seen to offer its thanks.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At the time, GetUp! refused to disclose whether Mr Shorten’s AWU national office, or his Victorian branch, which he also controlled, made donations in 2005-06. Mr Shorten directed The Australian’s queries to GetUp!.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">With confirmation that Mr Shorten did donate a large sum of AWU members’ funds to GetUp!, The Weekend Australian yesterday asked the Labor leader for comment on why the money was donated.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Shorten was also asked if he recalled that the donation of about $100,000, and any others for GetUp!, were documented in resolutions and donated under rule 57 of the union requiring approval by the AWU’s national executive.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Weekend Australian asked Mr Shorten if he recalled whether any funds went through the Victorian AWU ­office — or only the national office.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Almost seven hours after receiving the questions about his memory of the AWU donation, Mr Shorten did not answer them. Instead his spokesman said: “We don’t have that sort of historical information at hand. You’d have to ask (the) AWU.” Several former senior AWU officials recalled Mr Shorten giving at least $100,000 of union funds to GetUp! in 2005.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The donation was also confirmed within GetUp!. “Bill put in 100k. He was on their board,” a former AWU official said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Another said he recalled the funds were a donation from the AWU’s national office, and it was possible other funds ended up with GetUp! from AWU operating expenses.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">AWU donations from the 2005-06 financial year were not itemised in financial reports, but the totals were exceptionally high compared with previous years: $94,000 for the AWU national ­office and $83,000 for the Victorian branch.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The AWU’s current national secretary Dan Walton was asked repeatedly this week for details of the AWU GetUp! donation and said he would check with an office finance manager, and minutes from the time. In the most recent communication Mr Walton said he was having difficulties obtaining the information.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Asked to provide details of GetUp!’s start-up funding in 2005, current GetUp! national director Paul Oosting did not answer. Instead he said that all donations over $10,000 had been “voluntarily” disclosed within 30 days of receipt over the past 12 years. He said the majority of funds came from small donors.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On the Java Ridge By Jock Serong Text Publishing, 320pp, $29.99 pb</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One of the ironies of fiction is that the issues that feel most urgent are often those that are most resistant to successful fictional treatment.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Why this should be is an interesting question, not least because our distaste for overtly political novels (and the tendency of writers to regard it as somewhat gauche) is a relatively recent phenomenon. Many of the greatest novels of the 19th and early 20th century are explicitly engaged with the issues of their day, and writers from Charles Dickens and Victor Hugo to Emile Zola and Thomas Hardy were fired by an often white-hot fury about social injustice.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It’s tempting to suggest this delicacy has something to do with the commodification of culture and the privatising of pleasure more generally: after all, if literature is a commodity its value doesn’t lie in its capacity for social engagement but in its ability to reinforce the system that gives it value. Likewise, work that offends or outrages by revealing things we do not want to see is likely to be dismissed as vulgar and unnecessary.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But it may have something to do with the ongoing collapse of the boundaries between different forms of representation. After all, in a world where every moment, no matter how banal, is recorded, catalogued, curated, and where television is rapidly cannibalising the business of the social novel, the space in which fiction can operate becomes more circumscribed, the effort of imagination necessary to invest a moment, scene or character with the stuff of life greater.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">These are questions that came back to me while reading Australian author Jock Serong’s third novel, On the Java Ridge, a book that engages directly and powerfully with the human catastrophe of Australia’s <b>refugee</b> policy. Set in Australia and the waters of Indonesia, the novel has as its backdrop the final week of a hard-fought federal election that opens with the announcement of new laws absolving the commonwealth government of all responsibility for <b>refugee</b> boats from the north.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Blandly routine in its political expedience and its moral bankruptcy, this announcement passes unremarked aboard the Java Ridge, a charter vessel operating out of Bali that, as the novel opens, is on a surfing expedition.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Despite the Java Ridge’s semi-legendary reputation, it’s a trip that begins uneasily. Joel, the owner, is in Australia chasing funding, meaning the <b>boat</b> is in the hands of his partner Isi who, perhaps unsurprisingly, soon finds her authority challenged by the almost exclusively male passengers, a process that comes to a head when one of them makes an unscheduled visit to a break off an uninhabited island some way short of their intended destination.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Seeking to save face, Isi gives in and anchors the <b>boat</b> in the lagoon. But when a storm hits a few hours later, and a <b>refugee boat</b> is wrecked on the reef sheltering the lagoon, Isi and the <b>boat</b>’s passengers must place their own lives in danger to rescue the drowning refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The rescue and the scenes that follow it are the real heart of the book, and they are exceptional. Serong invests the chaos and confusion of the wreck and its bloody aftermath with a visceral power that makes for confronting but exhilarating reading. And although the escalating disasters of the book’s final third occa­sionally feel as if they may be more at home in a Hollywood thriller, Serong’s grasp of his Australian characters’ responses to events foren­sically deconstructs the “wounded privilege” of Australian masculinity.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet while the Australian characters, in particular several of the men, are extremely well-realised, the Indonesian and Afghan characters are less distinct. This has the unfortunate effect of making even the most important of them — a Hazara girl called Roya — feel like bit players. It also underlines the point the novel wants to make about the degree to which the good fortune of the Australians blinds them to the reality of life for those less fortunate.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">More problematic again, though, are the Canberra sections, which centre on Cassius Calvert, the federal minister for border integrity. Like the grotesque prime minister, who is glimpsed towards the end of the novel, Calvert is essentially a caricature, blandly uninterested in the niceties of law or justice except in so far as they concern his capacity to achieve his own ends and devoid of inner life beyond an obsession with power games and winning.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Despite these flaws there is something salutary about Serong’s ambition in tackling these issues, and his refusal to accept the notion that the contemporary novel should confine itself to questions of the self. And while the book does not, and does not seek to, offer solutions, the fury at its heart captures the frustration and despair so many feel about the issue.James Bradley is an author and critic.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In a sign of the growing unrest within Labor's Left faction over the subject of refugees, four MPs - Andrew Giles, and senators Murray Watt, Jenny McAllister and Sue Lines - visited Mr Neumann in his parliamentary office to voice their concerns.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They believe he has vacated the field to Immigration Minister Peter Dutton, and were particularly aggrieved by Labor's failure to condemn the government over the death on Monday of 31-year-old <b>asylum</b> seeker Hamed Shamshiripour on Manus Island.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One MP with knowledge of the meeting complained: "Nothing's really been said by Shayne. We need to respond. We're all really upset and concerned."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">An MP who attended said the meeting was held to voice "concerns that a larger number of MPs have about the ongoing situation on Manus and Nauru".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"It wasn't so much about attacking him or attacking Labor, but making sure that we are taking an active role in the debate and demonstrating our concern for people who are in detention," the source said. It was a "constructive" meeting and "I think he appreciated us coming to him," they said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A spokesman for Mr Neumann said: "The shadow minister regularly meets with colleagues to discuss issues related to his portfolio and he had a productive meeting."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">All the attendees were approached for comment.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
<span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span> understands there are active discussions within Labor, particularly MPs in the party's Left faction, about changing Labor's <b>asylum</b> seeker policies with a view to making them more compassionate. They are pointing to next year's ALP national conference as an opportunity to push for a substantive shift in policy, although not all in the Left believe that's possible.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is understood that MPs are anxious to demonstrate greater concern for people stuck on the islands, and to better articulate the government's failure to resettle refugees after more than four years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Outspoken Labor senator Lisa Singh, a long-time <b>refugee</b> advocate, said the government should investigate the death of Mr Shamshiripour.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"That's the usual procedure when you have the duty of care," she said. "This is a shameful chapter in our history."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Meanwhile on Wednesday night, Labor senator Sam Dastyari railed against the lengthy detention of refugees during a free-wheeling "politics in the pub" session at the Civic Pub in Canberra.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While his comments were in line with current Labor policy, he promised Labor would seek a "fundamental shift" in the way refugees who come by <b>boat</b> are processed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"This is what I believe we need to take to the next election and I believe we will take to the next election," Senator Dastyari said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"To start off, you open up the camps. You bring transparency, you actually process these people, and you start actually finding a place for these people to go. I think that is a huge change from what we're doing at the moment."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Senator Dastyari, of the NSW Right, said the <b>refugee</b> debate in Australia had become "messed up" and was based on the idea that "if we deny one group of people's rights enough, that somehow this actually saves lives, this is right thing to do and it's the moral thing to do". "Piss off. No," he said. "None of this is OK and it's not good enough for us as a society."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Senator Dastyari lamented the death of Mr Shamshiripour in the "mosquito-infested swamp that is Manus [Island]", telling the supportive pub crowd: "You can't look at that and not ask yourself, how is that OK?"</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On Thursday, Immigration Minister Peter Dutton would not take responsibility for the death, but said: "The loss of one life is one too many, and I'm determined to get people off Manus, [and] to do it in such a way that we don't restart boats."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Dutton said there would be a coronial inquest into the death.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">IT’S a Saturday afternoon in Brisbane and Shahwali Kazimi, 20, is on the train heading home to his unit in Annerley after meeting friends for coffee across town. On Monday, he’ll be back at his desk working as a communications officer with a State Government department.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It’s a full-time job this young migrant and digital innovator took up for his “gap year”, through Multicultural Development Australia’s Work and Welcome program, before he begins civil engineering studies at QUT next year, and one he does while also volunteering for no less than three organisations.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I have faced a lot of challenges and there are people who’ve helped me, so when I graduated high school I thought it’s my turn now to help someone else,” he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Apart from volunteering, Kazimi is thinking about ways in which technology can help those who are now experiencing what he went through after fleeing war-torn Afghanistan in 2012. After the death of his father when he was a young boy, he eventually made the agonising decision to leave his mother and younger brother behind in the hope of finding a safe new land for them to call home.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“When I left them, I didn’t know if I would see them again. I left my school, I left friends, I left family, I left everything,” Kazimi says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After making it to India and then Malaysia, he boarded a small fishing <b>boat</b> in the middle of the night with 12 other <b>asylum</b> seekers to get to Indonesia. After a terrifying journey through storm-tossed waters, Kazimi arrived in Indonesia, where he spent the next year in a <b>refugee</b> shelter.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It was really difficult. I didn’t know what would happen, whether I would find a new place to call home or stay there forever or whether they would deport me,” he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Eventually, Kazimi was approved as a <b>refugee</b> by the <span class="companylink">UN <b>Refugee</b> Agency</span>. The day he learned he would be resettled in Australia, 15 months after leaving home, he was overjoyed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“You don’t know taking that journey – will you survive or won’t you survive?” he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Some four years later, on an early autumn day in Brisbane this year, Kazimi joined a team of developers and designers to help other <b>asylum</b> seekers, refugees and new arrivals in Australia who may have been through similar experiences to his own.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He’d worked hard at Yeronga State High School where he proved to be a high-achieving student across all realms of school life, receiving academic awards, a cultural award and player of the year award for the boys volleyball open team.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As a volunteer member of the Multicultural Development Association’s Youth Advisory Council, Kazimi had learned of Brisbane’s first-ever Techfugees event, taking place at technology hub River City Labs in Fortitude Valley.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The event was started in the UK in 2015 by technology influencer Mike Butcher to harness the power of technology to help refugees at all stages of their journey. Ideas that emerged out of the London hackathon included geecycle.org where people can donate their old smartphone to a <b>refugee</b>, migreat.com for simple online visa applications and refugeesonrails.org for teaching refugees how to code.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Smartphones and the web have the capability to find lost families, report human rights abuses and perhaps even disrupt the smugglers,” Butcher said at the time.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Two years later, Techfugees has spread across the world to no less than 34 cities. In Brisbane, more than 40 people took part in the hackathon sponsored by River City Labs. It was an event CEO Peta Ellis says reflects the global tech community’s support for migrants and refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It was a vibrant, encouraging vibe with lots of refugees and mentors and volunteers willing to help and get involved,” she says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“There were over five teams formed who developed prototypes of their concepts in 54 hours.” On day one, participants mapped out initial ideas and tackled some of the problem areas refugees and <b>asylum</b>-seekers face such as disability access and support, employment, entrepreneurship, health, housing, language, legal and migration advice, working qualifications, tracing family and translation services.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mentors from the start-up ecosystem then helped guide the teams before pitching their idea to a panel of judges.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We believe it is important to provide the opportunity to be included and have a voice and the opportunity to develop valuable solutions to real problems,” Ellis says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Kazimi was on the winning team that developed the Springboard app aimed at matching refugees with industry-specific mentors. Springboard uses a matching algorithm based on a <b>refugee</b>’s goal, interests and needs to match with a mentor’s experience, interests and strengths. Currently the team is looking for corporate support to develop the app.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For Kazimi, it was a way of helping a greater number of people beyond the students he assists through his work with <span class="companylink">the University of Queensland</span>’s Afghan Students Association and the Queensland Program of Assistance to Survivors of Torture and Trauma.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I was wanting to help more people, not just a few,” he says. “My ultimate dream is just to live in this beautiful country and to do good things for the people and community here and help people understand more about new arrivals. I want to help people understand that migrants and <b>asylum</b> seekers have left their homes, their everything. Something has forced them to leave, otherwise no-one would put their life in danger to seek peace or freedom.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Also, I want to help migrants and <b>asylum</b> seekers to understand resettling in a new country has its challenges.” Just over a year ago Kazimi made his way to Brisbane airport to meet his mother and brother, almost four years after he left Afghanistan.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It was a really happy moment for me and for them as well. My mum, she was very emotional,” he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The family of three now live together in a small unit complex in Annerley, grateful for their safety and so much more.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It’s close to transport and a shopping centre, everything is available. We have a peaceful life. We’re happy,” he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For Kazimi, Australia has given him something he dared not imagine for himself or his family.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I can dream. I can choose what I want and I can have hope for the future,” he says.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull's phone call would be entertaining if it wasn't a tragedy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After the latest salvo of White House leaks - the full transcripts of President Donald Trump's January 27 phone calls with Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Mexico's President Enrique Pena Nieto - it's hard to know what's more surprising: that two out of three world leaders are prepared to play so fast and loose with the facts in their dealings on hot-button policy issues, or that we're still astonished by it.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Trump - it seems - wants it to look like Mexico is paying for the border wall regardless of who actually foots the bill. And our PM is more interested in whether the US <b>refugee</b> deal appears to be intact - for the benefit of an uneasy public and a rancorous party room - than how many refugees America ultimately accepts. If any.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So, hey, our leaders are duplicitous when it serves - colour me green and call me a cucumber. There are plenty of other revelations in the transcripts that we should be more worried about.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Before we come to grips with the substance of those conversations, let me just say how fitting it is that Florida-based ex-golfer Greg Norman rates an early mention in our PM's first tete-a-tete with the leader of the free world.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I don't know if it's Norman who Trump has in mind when he says he loves the people of Australia, but it's certainly hard to think of another individual who better embodies the US President's most defining characteristic - a heightened appreciation for his own charms.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Indeed, the Great White Shark's latest outing on <span class="companylink">Instagram</span> " au naturale", bathing his nether regions in the frigid waters of the Colorado lakes, is a case in point - and should make us eternally grateful that The Donald mostly sticks to <span class="companylink">Twitter</span>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Moving on, the gist of Turnbull's message to Trump is that he doesn't give a toss who comes to our shores, it's how they come that matters. Worse: he doesn't care about the cost - to detainees, or the Australian public - of making the offshore processing debacle go away, as long as it does.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"If you try to come to Australia by <b>boat</b>," explains Turnbull to a patently baffled Trump, "even if we think you are the best person in the world, even if you are a Noble [sic] Prize-winning genius, we will not let you in."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"You are worse than I am," interjects Trump, who then goes on to complain about the deal, finally declaring, "This is going to kill me."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Let's face it: Turnbull has his work cut out for him. It's no mean feat defending Australia's draconian offshore detention regime while simultaneously insisting - to Trump's mounting bewilderment - that the people we've illegally deprived of their liberty for the past four years haven't actually done a thing wrong.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The conversation is peppered with Trump's references to "prison" and "prisoners". But we have treated them like criminals, so it's small wonder that Trump thinks they are. "I hate taking these people," he grumbles. "I guarantee you they are bad. That is why they are in prison right now."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I would not be so sure about that," Turnbull says, to which Trump replies, in a moment of uncommon lucidity, "Well, maybe you should let them out of prison."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Suppose I vet them closely and I do not take any?" asks the Prez. "That is the point I have been trying to make," Turnbull says, to which Trump - patently unaware that the PM is tallying his political survival in terms of months or weeks, not years - responds, "How does that help you?"</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We would have let them in," Turnbull laments, later. "If they had arrived by airplane and with a tourist visa then they would be here," he says, underscoring the lie behind our bipartisan support for border control, which turns a blind eye to widespread rorting across a range of Australian visa programs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If the unfolding tragedy on Manus weren't so heartbreaking, this would make for a truly entertaining read.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Trump, meanwhile, may not be buying what Turnbull is selling, but if there's something the US President ought to understand it's a mendacious narrative around border security.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"People are pouring into our country," said Trump at the first presidential debate, pointing the finger at illegal immigrants from Mexico whom he characterised as " drug dealers, criminals, rapists".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In reality, Trump has scapegoated Mexicans in the same way the Australian government has targeted <b>boat</b> people.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The number of Mexicans living illegally in the US has declined by more than 1 million over the past decade, and more non-Mexicans than Mexicans are now apprehended at US borders.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As for drugs, what keeps the Mexican cartels in clover is the unrelenting "flow of money going from north to south" according to US officials; a vaguely unpalatable fact reiterated by President Pena Nieto on January 27, before advising Trump, in unequivocal terms, that " Mexico cannot pay for that wall".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"But you cannot say that to the press," bemoans Trump to his Mexican counterpart. "The press is going to go with that and I cannot live with that."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Quite so, quite so. Malcolm Turnbull would sympathise.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A little taken aback, I asked, "Oh? Why do you say that?"</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Referring to the recent census results, the patient said that half of Australia's population was not born in Australia (this is not true), but "... I mean I think it's good that we all look a bit different. I think it's good that you look Chinese."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">To some, this probably seems like a very strange exchange. In community pharmacy, it's par for the course. Another example - after counselling an elderly patient on her blood pressure medications, the lady looked at me, patted my hand and said, smiling, "You speak English so well for an Asian."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I often compare the way language is used by everyday people to the way language is used in the media. The media constitutes a profession that is generally highly educated (some would say, a part of the "elite" class). They have to think about the language they use a lot more than the average person. Let me ask you - which do you think is a more apt description - "illegal immigrant" or "<b>asylum</b> seeker"?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
<span class="companylink">The Australian Press Council</span> recommends journalists use the term "<b>asylum</b> seekers" in most circumstances. The Howard government liked to say "illegal maritime arrivals", whilst the subsequent Labor government preferred "irregular maritime arrivals." Tony Abbott brought back "<b>boat</b> people", a term from the 1970s that originally described refugees fleeing Vietnam after the fall of Saigon. It's a strikingly anachronistic term in the vein of "Chink", "Abo" or "Wog", and shows how much we - and our use of language (at least in public) - have really changed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The truth is, the language that you use probably gives away how you feel about an issue. The press council warns the word "illegal" may unduly imply "criminality or other serious behaviour", instead emphasising that most people who come here without authorisation are seeking a legal right to stay in Australia as refugees. But some think that "<b>asylum</b> seeker" deliberately avoids the fact these people are entering Australian borders illegally. They are frustrated the media's obsession with political correctness has made it impossible to "call a spade a spade".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Censoring language, however well intentioned, can be subversive. The Rotherham child sex abuse scandal in Britain, where at least 1400 children were abused between 1997 and 2013, ignited a firestorm over the problem of institutionalised political correctness. Most of the perpetrators were of Pakistani heritage, but police and officials were blasted for deliberately failing to acknowledge obvious ethnic and community ties for fears of being accused of racism.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The initial reluctance of the German media to cover a wave of sexual assaults during the 2015-16 New Year's celebration by men described as having North African or Arab appearance was blamed on the media's fear of stoking anti-migrant sentiment during the <b>refugee</b> crisis. It reinforced the perception that the media (knowingly or unknowingly) has a tendency to skew coverage a certain way.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the US, the president Barack Obama was constantly pilloried by the right for failing to say the words "radical Islamic terrorist" (he has used those words, just not in that exact order). In 2014, he said, "ISIL [Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant] is not Islamic". His intentions were good - he wanted to make the distinction between "Islam" and "Islamism" (few would know the difference). He was wrong - ISIS is very Islamic and it would be folly to ignore the fact.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">To his supporters, US President Donald Trump is the antithesis of political correctness. His diatribes are inarticulate, grossly offensive to grammar-heads and crudely effective. Remember the time he said "all Mexicans are rapists?" Actually, he didn't say that. What he did say was this:</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The US has become a dumping ground for everybody else's problems â€¦ When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He was talking about illegal immigrants (or undocumented immigrants, depending on your political bent). His language is emotive, absolutist and appeals to baser instincts of fear and anger rather than reason or evidence. It's language that incites and exploits stereotypes, and it's dangerous.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Some people voted for Trump because he speaks like them. But many voted for Trump because he spoke to them. If you can manage to look past the polemic, you'll find embedded within an even more powerful message. To the culturally and economically stagnate, to those who could see no future for themselves or their families on the cusp of the new world of globalisation and technology, Trump said, "I hear you".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">An example: implicit within a statement like "Mexicans are bringing drugs and crime to the US" is an acknowledgement of the opioid epidemic gripping many parts of the country as well as concerns about the impact of illegal immigration - in particular the link between illegal immigration and crime. In the latter, there is surprisingly little evidence on either side of the debate - although immigration overall (legal and illegal) has not been shown to increase crime. Sadly, Trump's rhetoric scapegoats immigrants, even as it recognises the real hardships faced by his supporters.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Atlantic sums Trump up best: "The press takes him literally, but not seriously; his supporters take him seriously, but not literally."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Language is important. It can be used to incite, obscure, validate, expose. It has meaning, but meaning is in the eye of the beholder (as my conversation with the patient at the pharmacy certainly affirms).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Listening is important too. There is something to be gained by trying to understand another person's point of view. The judgment can come later.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Thanks to a leaked transcript, we know now that Malcolm Turnbull’s explosive phone call with Donald Trump ranks as one of his finest moments as Prime Minister.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He was up against an American President raging like a bull against a <b>refugee</b> deal which he feared would make him “look so bad”.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the face of a sometimes wild rant by Trump, the transcript of their conversation shows Turnbull to be consistently polite, measured, disciplined and forceful in defending Australia’s interests.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">During the extraordinary 24-minute conversation it clearly dawned on the Prime Minister that Trump had almost no understanding of the background to the <b>refugee</b> deal, including why there were people detained on Nauru and Manus Island and why Australia­ was trying to stop boats.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was up to Turnbull then and there to explain the policy in a way that Trump would understand. At stake was the deal with Barack Obama to take refugees from Nauru and Manus, relieving the government of one of its most intractable­ policy and human rights issues.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“What is the thing about boats, why do you discriminate against boats?’’ Trumps asks.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull replies calmly: “Let me explain ...” He then gives a ­succinct and simple summary of Australia’s immigration policy to the new US President.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Trump, who appeared not to have been briefed on any aspect of Australia’s policy, assumed that because <b>asylum</b>-seekers were ­detained on Nauru and Manus, they were in effect prisoners, so they must be criminals.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Why haven’t you let them out? Why have you not let them into your society?” Trumps asks.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Again, Turnbull replies calmly: “OK, I will explain why.” The PM explains that they are not on Nauru and Manus because they are bad people but rather as a ­deterrent to people-smugglers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“So we said, ‘if you try to come to Australia by <b>boat</b>, even if we think you are the best person in the world, even if you are a Nobel prize-winning genius, we will not let you in’,” Turnbull says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Trump is impressed: “That is a good idea. We should do that too. You are worse than I am.” Trump then goes further, to claim those of Nauru and Manus are at risk of becoming terrorists.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Does anybody know who these people are? Who are they? Where do they come from? Are they going to become the Boston bomber in five years, or two years?” Again, Turnbull replies calmly: “Let me explain. We know exactly who they are.” The President then tells Turnbull that he had heard the resettlement deal involved close to 5000 people. Turnbull immediately corrects him: “The given number in the agreement is 1250 and it is ­entirely a matter of your vetting.” By this stage Trump is furious, saying it was “a horrible deal, a disgusting­ deal that I would never have made” and it is an “embarrassment to the United States”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull turns up the heat in a polite, but forceful, way. First he uses the Australia-US ­alliance as collateral for the favour which Australia is asking of the US.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I am asking you as a very good friend. This is a big deal. It is really, really important to us that we maintain it,” he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull then goes on to say: “I say to you there is nothing more important in business or politics than a deal is a deal ... you can certainly­ say that it was not a deal that you would have done, but you are going to stick with it.” By the end of the call, Trump has worked himself into a near rage. “I will be seen as a weak and ineffective leader in my first week by these people (US voters). This is a killer ... this is the most unpleasant call all day. Putin was a ­pleasant call. This is ridiculous ... this is crazy.” For one final time, Turnbull ­replies in a composed manner: “Thank you for your commitment. It is very important to us.” Trump replies: “It is important to you but embarrassing to me.”The calls ends abruptly. Trump is furious, not least because he knows Turnbull has him in a corner­. Turnbull secured the deal Australia was looking for in the most trying of circumstances using nothing but calm logic and rational explanation. For that he should be congratulated.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“My daughter was exactly the same age and it really rang home to me,” said Operations Officer Brodribb.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The <b>boat</b> was decrepit, sinking, and just showed how desperate these people are.” The Australian Border Force (ABF) veteran is part of the 18-strong crew of the cutter Cape Nelson that has docked in Sydney this weekend on a tour of the east coast.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He commands the team that takes fast response boats out to board vessels on the high seas and was there when a <b>boat</b> packed with 47 <b>asylum</b> seekers exploded in the waters off Northern Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“No matter how hard you train, nothing can prepare you for that, the bodies in the water,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But nothing sticks with him more than the haunted look in that desperate mother’s eyes as she handed him her daughter. “Happily we were able to go back and get her and it had a positive outcome,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Saturday Telegraph was yesterday given exclusive access to the four-year-old Australian-built ship, one of eight Cape class vessels in the frontline of the border war on people smugglers, drug runners and illegal fishermen.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The ship’s two <span class="companylink">Caterpillar</span> diesel engines can propel it to a top speed of 25 knots and it can stay at sea for 28 days at a time. It carries two .50 calibre ­machineguns.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Commanding officer Tim Spencer said most operations are carried out in waters to the country’s north, but the deterrence of patrolling the east coast is vital.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On Christmas Day the ABF seized half a tonne of cocaine, worth $162 million, from smugglers at Parsley Bay near Brooklyn. The raid helped break up a drug ring operating out of Chile that was worth hundreds of millions of dollars.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For Inspector Spencer, it is the rescues he remembers the most. “We got a distress call for a vessel in big seas off the Cocos Islands,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">With cyclones blowing in from east and west, the Cape Nelson eventually found the ship, holed and run aground on an uninhabited coral atoll.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I put a medic on the island to stay with the people until morning,” he said. “We then had to swim all 84 people out through the surf before we could get them into the ship’s boats to safety.” His sense of pride was echoed by Marine Tactical Officer Joshua Simpson.“We give 110 per cent because it is important for the people of Australia to be safe.”</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Federal Circuit Court judge Philip Burchardt found that the worker, who spoke little English, had been underpaid $25,588 over four months, an “enormous amount for such a short time”.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Abdulrahman Taleb, the former owner-operator of the Sunshine Fruit Market in Mel­bourne’s west, was penalised $16,020 and his company Mhoney Pty Ltd penalised $644,000.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
<span class="companylink">Fair Work Ombudsman</span> Natalie James said the $660,020 in penalties was the largest ever achieved as a result of the regulator’s litigation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">ACTU president Ged Kearney said the case was “a tragic story but it’s one of thousands across Australia right now”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Wage theft has become a business model with underpayments of workers, exploitation and dodgy workplace practices becoming the norm,’’ she said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The worker left Afghanistan after his father and brother were killed by the <span class="companylink">Taliban</span>, and his mother was killed by a suicide bomber. He fled to Pakistan before paying people smugglers to get him to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In 2010, he boarded a <b>boat</b> in Indonesia and arrived in Christmas Island where he remained in detention for 10 months. He was assessed as a <b>refugee</b>, granted permanent residency and released into the community just before Christmas 2010.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The court found he was paid no wages for a number of weeks in 2012 and later received a flat rate of $10 an hour to a maximum of $120 per day. He should have been paid hourly rates of about $17 for normal hours, up to $35 an hour on weekends and up to $43 on public holidays under the retail award.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Judge Burchardt said Mr Taleb was the “mind and will” of the company who had been “taking advantage” of the worker.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“This was an egregious underpayment. It gave the respondents an unfair advantage in the competitive retail industry,’’ he said. “(The worker) was a vulnerable employee in that he was a recent arrival to Australia and totally lacked fluency in English, and could reasonably be understood to be most unlikely to be aware of any entitlements at law,” Judge Burchardt said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He said the tenor of Mr Taleb’s contrition was unimpressive and he had not apologised to the worker.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He said much of his affidavit was dedicated to self−pity rather than contrition, “and if Mr Taleb is a significant figure in the Lebanese Muslim community in Melbourne, one might express a hope that the community would extend their admiration to someone perhaps more worthy of it than Mr Taleb”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The previous record penalties of $532,910 were secured in February against the former owner-operator of an Albury cafe and his company, Rubee Enterprises Pty Ltd. That matter involved exploitation of five workers, including two visa holders.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ms James said the new record penalties highlighted how “seriously the courts take unlawful behaviour which involves workers being taken advantage of and stripped of minimum wages and entitlements”.“Employers who deliberately exploit vulnerable workers should be on notice that we will do everything in our power to hold you to account,’’ she said.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Why do liberty, security, safety and human rights so offend the dishonest world body?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The United Nations has become a threat to the liberal international order. It weakens the constitution of liberal democratic states by ­attacking the political and cultural conditions required for their survival. It attacks the security of free-world countries and the common values that underpin free societies. In recent years, <span class="companylink">UN</span> leadership has become more hostile to free citizens and politicians who dissent from illiberal supranational rule.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The <span class="companylink">UN</span> often acts against the free world by targeting politicians who defend the liberty, security and safety of free citizens. In particular, <span class="companylink">UN</span> chiefs target pro-Western politicians who defend the free world by upholding democratic rule over supranational rule and adopt secure border policy to keep free societies free. During the US presidential campaign, UN human rights chief Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein said he didn’t intend to ­interfere with political campaigns but declared Donald Trump “dan­gerous from an international point of view”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
<span class="companylink">UN</span> members attack the free world by smearing pro-Western politicians with propaganda terms such as xenophobia, Islamophobia, racism and populism. Its leadership has framed democratic citizens’ defence of free-world countries as “xenophobia”. They call democratically elected politicians who represent their people and protect them from harm “populist”. They claim secure border policy is a form of nationalism and by extension (in <span class="companylink">UN</span> thought), an abuse of human rights. And they depict the <span class="companylink">UN</span> as a bastion of benevolent internationalism, ­despite its track record.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the past week, we witnessed the <span class="companylink">UN</span> act as a seemingly illiberal and dishonest organisation. The High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi, accused the Australian government of misleading the <span class="companylink">UN</span>. He claimed the <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span> agreed to help facilitate the Australia-US <b>refugee</b> transfer “on the clear understanding that vulnerable refugees with close family ties in Australia would ultimately be allowed to settle there”. To Australian ears, the supposed deal sounded improbable. It would under­mine the hard-won border policy developed by the Abbott government. Operation Sovereign Borders broke the business model of people smugglers by refusing to reward them with entry to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The gravity of the UN <b>refugee</b> commissioner’s claims against the Australian government prompted media to request supporting evidence. On the ABC, Leigh Sales asked the UNHCR’s assistant commissioner for protection, Volker Turk, who had given the “clear understanding” to the commission. After several attempts to clarify what agreement had been made, it appeared that the <span class="companylink">UN</span> was misleading Australia, not the reverse. We are still waiting for the <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span> to provide valid evidence or apologise for misleading the international community about Australia’s secure border policy. But apparently, being the <span class="companylink">UN</span> means never having to say you’re sorry.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Since the election of Australia’s conservative government, the <span class="companylink">UN</span> has attacked our secure border policy, counter-terrorism measures and attempts to reduce ­unprecedented national debt by curbing expenditure on discretionary foreign aid programs. In 2015, <span class="companylink">UN</span> migrant rights rapporteur Francois Crepeau claimed falsely that he was denied proper access to offshore immigration processing centres. At the time, I questioned Crepeau’s objectivity given that he was a council member of the Global Detention Project, an activist group highly critical of such centres.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres also has a history of left activism. He was president of the Socialist International at its 22nd congress, which resolved that “the goal of the SI must be to parliamentarise the global political system” by the establishment of a “<span class="companylink">UN</span> Parliamentary Assem­bly”. Later, as <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span> chief, ­Guterres criticised “manifestations of xenophobia … Islamo­phobia, racism” and “xenophobic parties” in Europe. While he praised Australia’s generosity in hosting and integrating refugees, Guterres made the rather extraordinary claim that our issue with <b>boat</b> arrivals was “a kind of collective sociological and psychological question”. No, it was a kind of 1200-deaths-at-sea atrocity.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The reason Australia’s conservative government introduced Operation Sovereign Borders was to break the people smugglers’ business model. The smuggling ­industry thrived under Labor’s ­porous border policy, which ­resulted in 50,000 unlawful arrivals and 1200 deaths at sea. Some porous border activists use <b>asylum</b>-seekers dying at sea to push for even more open borders. For conservatives, however, lives and procedural fairness matter more. As Malcolm Turnbull ­acknowledged in London, managing the 50,000 unlawful arrivals under Labor cost Australians more than $10 billion. And it meant more than 14,500 refugees waiting in <span class="companylink">UN</span> camps were denied a place under Australia’s offshore ­humanitarian program.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The <span class="companylink">UN</span> rails against conservative party politicians who defend secure border policy so that Western democracy and open society and can flourish. Human rights chief Hussein described right-wing Western politicians as “demagogues” and compared their “tactics” with those of genocidal Islamic State.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">However, the <span class="companylink">UN</span> adopts a comparatively accommodationist approach to closed and illiberal ­societies under Islamist and communist rule. Last year, the <span class="companylink">UN General Assembly</span> honoured communist dictator Fidel Castro with a minute of silence. On that day, as on so many others, it entertained attacks on Israel’s sovereignty by Islamists. And the <span class="companylink">UN</span> is yet to explain how its bene­v­olent internationalism includes the ­Organisation of Islamic Co­operation’s redefinition of human rights to disallow freedoms ­“contrary to the principles of the sharia”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As high commissioner for refugees, Guterres said Islamic law and tradition “provide(d) an invaluable foundation for the legal framework” used by his office.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The <span class="companylink">UN</span>’s capitulation to an ­increasingly illiberal international order manifests in a frontal assault on the core values that form the foundations of the free world. The liberal democratic state is sustained by a society of citizens who are taught to uphold and ­defend such values. They include the separation of powers between ­relig­ious authority and state authority embodied in the secular state; public reason tempered by the mastery of free thought, speech and objective scholarly inquiry; formal equality; the protection of free ­citizens from harm by means of ­secure borders; and the defence of free societies from the tyranny of illiberalism.It is popular to blame Trump or conservatives for declining confidence in the liberal international order and multilateral institutions. But the decline predates Trump’s presidency by years. Liberal internationalists need to ­acknowledge there’s something rotten in the state of the <span class="companylink">UN</span>.</p>

The latest plot involved bringing down a domestic flight with an explosive device and represents a worrying escalation from the relatively unsophisticated “lone wolf” attacks and plots we’ve seen in recent years.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A large-scale terror attack is a terrifying prospect but the planning that such an act requires does give counter-terrorism authorities, including ASIO and federal and state police forces, an opportunity to uncover and disrupt the plot.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At the weekend, heavily armed officers, some in gas masks and ballistic armour, raided properties in the Sydney suburbs of Lakemba, Wiley Park, Punchbowl and Surry Hills. Four men were arrested and a “considerable amount of material” was collected by police.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Airports are on high alert with the Prime Minister confirming that all major domestic and international terminals around the country will increase security measures to match the additional measures put in place at Sydney airport last week.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“This ensures national consistency of our aviation security arrangements,” Mr Turnbull said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Some of the measures will be obvious to the public, some will not be. Travellers should be prepared for additional scrutiny at screening points, and while it is important that Australians are aware of the increased threat, be assured we have the finest security and intelligence services in the world and they are working, as is my government, and all our governments around Australia, night and day, to keep Australians safe.” The additional measures will mean long waits for travellers who have been warned to allow an extra two hours to pass security and to assist authorities by limiting the amount of carry-on and checked baggage.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia’s terror alert level remains at “probable”, with Mr Turnbull praising the “outstanding work” of counter-terrorism teams.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The tight co-operation and collaboration between our intelligence and security agencies is the key to keeping Australians safe from terrorism,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The No.1 priority of my government, and my commitment to the Australian people, is to keep them safe. Every day, every hour, we are focused on ensuring that our defences against terrorism are stronger than ever, that our co-operation is tighter than ever, that our co-ordination is swifter than ever before.” Meanwhile, fringe-dwelling-tinfoil-hat-wearing members of the loony Left opine that the raids were part of some vast conspiracy to sell newspapers and prop up the Turnbull Government.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Normally, that type of lunacy is best ignored but the number of university-educated, supposedly sane folks on social media who rail against the men and women who keep this country safe is worthy of condemnation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When there were similar raids in 2014, elements of the Muslim community responded with outrage, not at the extremists in their midst, but against counter-terrorism forces who they claimed were unfairly focusing on their community.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Back then, the protesters at Lakemba chanted “we reject the terror laws, they only serve American wars” and held placards proclaiming “terror raids can’t break the spirit of Muslims” and “stop terrorising Muslims”. That sort of wilful blindness only creates division and alienates the community from the mainstream.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Despite the real threat of Islamist extremism, we have parliamentarians who want to expose the country to what amounts to open-border migration policies. The Greens continue to favour policies that would degrade Australia’s national security laws.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor may talk the talk but the fact remains that the last time they came to power, they dismantled the country’s border-protection policies, leading to 50,000 <b>asylum</b> seekers arriving by <b>boat</b> and more than 1200 tragically dying at sea.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We cannot afford to be complacent when it comes to national security or precious about our personal freedoms, some of which may have to be sacrificed to counter the terrorism threat.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Intrusive measures, from metadata retention to handbag searches, are a necessary evil to ensure community safety.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Americans had to sacrifice their sacred personal liberties under the Patriot Act after the 9/11 attacks that killed close to 3000 people and injured many more. Australia can’t wait for a large-scale attack before undertaking every sensible measure possible to keep us safe from the terrorism scourge.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A STEP TOO FAR WHEN John Howard first committed the Coalition to recognising indigenous people in the Constitution it was just that: recognition. It wasn’t about new forms of representation. It was simply to acknowledge the First Australians in our nation’s foundation document and, by so doing, to correct an historical oversight.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A decade – and Kevin Rudd’s apology – later, Aboriginal leaders now want substantial change and there’s serious problems with the proposal for an entrenched indigenous representative body to “advise” on all legislation affecting Aborigines.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">First, despite years spent on developing the report, there’s no detail on the proposed body – which, presumably, would have to be at least as significant as the former Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Recreating ATSIC, which was a disaster under the Hawke-Keating government, isn’t very smart. This is a classic case of more means less.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The more ambitious Aboriginal leaders become, the less likely people are to support any referendum.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Knowing a referendum for this new “third chamber of parliament” (House of Representatives, Senate and new indigenous body) would unlikely get up, there’s now talk of bypassing a people’s vote to set it up under legislation instead.With now five Members and Senators who identify as Aboriginal, the place for strong indigenous voices is in the Australian Parliament and duly elected by us all. Isn’t that the best embodiment of reconciliation and proof that our future will define us more than our past?</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Labor senator described the <b>refugee</b> debate as “horrendous” and <b>asylum</b>-seeker policy as “punitive” and “inhumane”. Reflecting on his family’s experiences, he questioned whether it was “morally justifiable” and called for more transparency and fairness when determining <b>refugee</b> claims.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“What we have been saying as a society is that we will treat one group of people so terribly that it will send a signal to others.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Is that a morally justifiable act?” he writes in One Halal of a Story (MUP), published next week. “Surely there is a more fair and just way in which we can have offshore processing but not ­destroy the hopes and aspirations of ­people seeking to escape ­persecution.” Senator Dastyari writes that Kevin Rudd told him the agreement with Papua New Guinea to establish the Manus Island detention centre in 2013 “will fix the problem”. He interpreted this to mean “stop arrivals by <b>boat</b>” and “make the problem go away”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The senator told The Weekend Australian Mr Rudd’s claim the agreement was intended to last just 12 months and refugees should have been settled in Australia by now did not accord with his recollection. “In the conver­sations that Kevin had with me at that time, that is not what he ever indicated — quite the opposite,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We went to an election saying they would never come to Australia. That was Labor Party policy.” Senator Dastyari’s parents, Naser and Ella, came to Australia under a family migration visa in 1988, but for the first time he ­reveals that his grandparents, Ahmad and Mino, sought and ­received <b>asylum</b> in Australia during the Howard government. They were refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The ABC television program Australian Story will profile Senator Dastyari on Monday, which includes him returning to Sari in northern Iran, the town he left as a five-year-old in 1988.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">His book will be launched by the Reverend Bill Crews at the NSW Labor conference tonight.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Senator Dastyari admits to using illicit “party” drugs in his 20s and suggests most other politicians have as well. He advocates decriminalisation of “low-level” drugs such as cannabis, supports lighter sentences for non-violent offences and favours introducing pill testing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Having criticised Australia’s financial sector for being greedy, unscrupulous and “ripping off consumers”, he recommends <span class="companylink">Australia Post</span> be given a licence to issue low-fee credit cards to stimulate competition. “We need to shake up the banking sector,” he writes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Among the other revelations in the book are: • Acknowledging he was “stupid” and “foolish” to get a Chinese donor to pay a $1670 travel bill and too “loose” with language about South China Sea policy; • Describing Pauline Hanson as “a sensationally good politician” but with “fascist” policies who must be opposed more forcefully by the major parties; • Disclosing he was on the verge of depression as NSW Labor secretary ahead of the wipe-out 2011 state election.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Senator Dastyari, who was ­appointed to the Senate in 2013, lashes the political class for being “narcissistic”, “insecure” and “extremely selfish”, saying too many politicians cannot connect with voters because they are robotic, risk-averse and driven by focus groups.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He does not exempt himself entirely from this critique.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“MPs will hastily resort to platitudes, counting on a few memorised facts and figures, being sure to say things that are boring and bland and so very safe,” he writes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“If we relax a little more and let people see past the buttoned-up suits and sound bites ... politicians might connect again.” Senator Dastyari said he wrote the book after stepping down from the frontbench following the China scandal and at a time when he was “in a fairly dark place” and engaged in a period of “self-reflection”.“It was cathartic,” he said. “It was an opportunity for me to stop, think and put down my thoughts, ideas and views on paper. I also tried to capture the absurdity of modern politics.”</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">You might want to clear the decks before you start Jock Serong’s third thriller, because the odds are you won’t be able to put it down. It starts in Canberra, where, two weeks before a federal election, the government is making draconian decisions about border protection, moves on to an Indonesian-built <b>boat</b> full of Australian tourists on a surfing safari out of Bali and thence to a similar <b>boat</b> full of Middle Eastern <b>asylum</b> seekers that has left Makassar and is heading for Ashmore Reef.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The two boats are to meet in tragic circumstances on a coral atoll. Serong writes quite brilliantly of the sea and surfing, drawing pictures that stay in the mind long after the book itself has moved on to darker themes.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The key characters in each scenario are fully and sympathetically drawn, particularly two parallel nine-year-olds, both forced by circumstances into an untimely maturity.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Roya has the only English among the <b>asylum</b> seekers and becomes a vital and inspiring conduit between them and the surfers. Rory, supported by his pet chook, is shuffled between his preoccupied cabinet minister father in Canberra and his self-righteously angry interstate mother, but maintains a touchingly patient and mature concern for both parents.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Serong steadily ramps up the tension with life-and-death suspense on the island and a war between principle and expediency waged against Rory’s father in Canberra by a particularly venal go-getter of a prime minister, but the reader is still unprepared for the unconscionable repercussions of the PM’s victory – heart-stopping consequences that should make us all think twice about trusting <b>refugee</b> and border issues to our politicians.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Robert Drewe, in his slow-burn latest novel, has given us a savvy snapshot of modern middle Australia. Six or so generations of the Cleary family gather at Hugh Cleary’s new status vineyard to celebrate the 160th anniversary of their founding ancestor Conor’s arrival from Ireland. The vineyard is called Whipbird in an inapposite salute to an extinct local species.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The cast includes one-time bankers, butchers, the odd lawyer and a single priest; walking-frames, hip replacements, a rash of secretive teenagers high on sex and stimulants, and the odd individual aberration, like Hugh’s plain-speaking vegetarian sister Thea, a cigar-smoking, unacceptably down-to-earth doctor with <span class="companylink">Médécins Sans Frontières</span>, and his younger brother Simon (Sly), once the keyboard player in a noted rock group, now suffering from a delusional syndrome that causes him to believe that he is dead.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As the wines flow and the extended family parties in colour-coded T-shirts, Drewe explores at greater depth the history and prejudices of different representatives across the generations. The latest iteration is represented by a heavily stereotyped Chinese family visiting the vineyard with the prospect of possibly making an investment.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Across all the celebrations and the slow-burning family feuds, Drewe trails a tantalising pair of threads: an uninhibited, tattooed young man in black with his underdressed, cigarette-smoking girlfriend and a newly detached wife suddenly wedded to her mobile. Such fine fuses will eventually detonate a seriously explosive climax.</p>

In a blunt assessment, Operation Sovereign Borders commander Air Vice-Marshal Stephen Osborne revealed people smugglers were waiting to seize on a change in Australia to try to restart their vile and deadly business.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Australia is closed for business at the moment but they remain hopeful in a change of government, even a change in minister,’’ Air Vice-Marshal Osborne said.</p>

Malcolm Turnbull has won back supporters from One Nation while Bill Shorten has gained ground on the Greens, as voters turn against the minor parties while cementing Labor’s lead over the government of 53 to 47 per cent in two-party terms.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Coalition’s primary vote has increased from 35 to 36 per cent at the expense of Pauline Hanson’s One Nation, which has seen its support fall from 11 to 9 per cent in its biggest setback this year.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The latest Newspoll, conducted exclusively for The Australian, also reveals a gain in Labor’s primary vote from 36 to 37 per cent, at the same time as a fall in support for the Greens after the forced resignations of the party’s two federal deputies over their citizenship.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Support for minor parties is now at one of its lowest points for the year, in the wake of the Prime Minister’s message last week on ­national security and the Oppos­ition Leader’s attempt to lure younger voters from the Greens with a warning about generational ­inequality.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull has widened the gap with Mr Shorten as preferred prime minister with a lead of 43 per cent to 32 per cent, regaining a double-digit advantage compared with a difference of only eight percentage points in the last Newspoll two weeks ago.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The results come after the ­government spent the past week unveiling new policies, including the formation of a home affairs ministry and measures to give the Australian Defence Force more scope to respond to state requests for help in fighting terror threats.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Shorten has stepped up his warnings about increasing inequality in recent days, in a message that echoes British Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn ’s, but it made no change to the oppos­ition’s lead over the Coalition in two-party terms.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At 36 per cent, the government’s primary vote is six percentage points below its result at the election one year ago, amid calls from former prime minister Tony Abbott for a dramatic shift in the government’s direction.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government’s success ­depends in part on drawing back voters it has lost to One Nation during a time of increasing attacks on Mr Turnbull from conservative commentators.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One Nation has surged in support from a primary vote of 1.3 per cent at the election to 10 per cent in the average of the Newspoll surveys over the three months to the end of March, with its support in Queensland reaching 16 per cent.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The party’s slip in support from 11 per cent in recent Newspolls to 9 per cent in the latest survey is its biggest slide this year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At 37 per cent, Labor’s primary vote is at one of its highest points in the year to date and is more than two percentage points ahead of its result at the last election.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Shorten yesterday confirmed Labor’s stance on <b>asylum</b>-seekers by declaring that those who came by <b>boat</b> would not be settled in Australia, while he signalled plans for tougher tax rules on the wealthy as part of a wider plan to tackle inequality.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We’ve got to rebuild confid­ence. At the heart of confidence is dealing with inequality and a lot of people don’t think that they’re ­getting a square go,” Mr Shorten told the ABC.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Look at the wages system — most Australians haven’t had a wage rise for two or three years.” The gain in Labor’s primary vote in the latest Newspoll takes it closer to the 38 per cent level that saw it secure government after the 2010 election, with preferences from Greens voters taking it to a clear lead over the Coalition in two-party terms.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The fall in support for the Greens is within the margin of error for this survey but comes after a series of damaging blows to the party, including the resignation of West Australian senator Scott Ludlam for holding New Zealand dual citizenship and Queensland senator Larissa Waters­ over dual citizenship with Canada.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Greens leader Richard Di ­Natale has vowed to launch “big campaigns” to build support and appeared yesterday at the Splendour In The Grass music festival on a panel against Labor infrastructure spokesman Anthony ­Albanese.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Australian revealed last week that Greens members are increasingl­y worried about the party’s fall in support in Newspoll and other published polls when the past 12 months are compared with the stronger results in the year leading up to the election.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Greens’ primary vote ­averaged 11.75 per cent in the four quarterly Newspoll reports based on surveys conducted from April 2015 to March last year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This fell to 9.75 per cent in the four reports covering the period from August last year to last month.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The swing against the minor parties in the latest Newspoll survey is within the margin of error but represents a positive sign for the Coalition and Labor after months of losing ground.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Support for the Greens, One Nation, other parties and the “uncommitted” vote reached 35 per cent at the end of February, in a horror poll for the government.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This has fallen to 32 per cent in the latest survey reflecting the 9 per cent support for One Nation, 9 per cent support for the Greens, 9 per cent support for ­others and 5 per cent who are uncommitted.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The survey of 1677 voters taken from Thursday to yesterday has a margin of error of 2.4 per cent. It is the 16th consecutive Newspoll where the Coalition has trailed Labor, a tally that Mr Turnbull turned into a test of leadership when he cited the loss of “30 Newspolls in a row” as a reason for challenging Mr Abbott in September 2015.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull and Mr Shorten continue to suffer from poor personal approval ratings.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Shorten’s satisfaction ratings were unchanged, with 33 per cent of voters satisfied and 53 per cent dissatisfied. This results in a net satisfaction rating of minus 20.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull saw an improvement in his satisfaction rating, which rose from 32 to 34 per cent, and a fall in his dissatisfaction rating­ from 56 to 54 per cent.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As a result, the Prime Minister’s net satisfaction rating was also minus 20 points, an improvement of four points.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull also increased his advantage over Mr Shorten as preferred prime minister to lead by 43 per cent over 32 per cent.This represents a gap of 11 points, compared with a tighter gap of eight percentage points in the Newspoll two weeks ago.</p>

KEVIN Rudd has the memory of an elephant. The problem is, he thinks the rest of us have the memory of a goldfish.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">How else to explain Rudd’s bizarre excursion on Fran Kelly’s RN Breakfast on Thursday to have a chat about <b>asylum</b> seekers?</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In a rewriting of history that can only be described as Orwellian, Rudd — author of the PNG Solution when he was in government — told listeners that the Coalition should have settled Manus Island <b>asylum</b> seekers in Australia three years ago.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Which is lovely except for the fact that back in 2013, Rudd announced that <b>asylum</b> seekers who arrived by <b>boat</b> would “never be settled in Australia”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Never mind, said Rudd, he didn’t really mean that, he meant they only should have been kept in detention for 12 months before being resettled and he was just trying to “send a clear message to people smugglers”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In any case, that’s the goldfish. Here’s the elephant.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Put aside for a moment Rudd’s rather loose 2013-era definition of “never”, a term he apparently uttered with as much sincerity as Meatloaf’s promise to “love you to the end of time”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Bill Shorten, listening to the former PM chat to Fran Kelly, would surely have been reminded of Rudd’s old saying about rodent fornication.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Shorten, after all, is for the moment an odds-on favourite to walk into the Lodge come the next election.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And perhaps the only thing he needs less than someone coming along reminding people to think about the words “Labor” and “<b>boat</b> people” in the same sentence is someone reviving memories of Bill Shorten as one of the “faceless men” who helped topple Rudd back in 2010.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The events of June 23, 2010, which were in no small part instigated by Shorten and other factional powerbrokers, tipped Australia into a period of leadership instability that has seen the country through seven years and nearly as many governments.While it may be too early to place a hedging bet on a Turnbull win, the Labor leader should remember that Rudd never forgets.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Senior Labor spokesmen and the MP for Manus have rebutted former prime minister Kevin Rudd ’s claim yesterday that <b>asylum</b>-seekers sent to Manus Island could and should have been resettled in Australia within 12 months.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Four years ago, Mr Rudd said that under a deal he had just cut with Papua New Guinea Prime Minister Peter O’Neill, “people who come by <b>boat</b> now have no prospect of being resettled in Australia.” Yesterday he claimed that his government’s deal with PNG was only intended to last 12 months and did not preclude resettlement in Australia.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">MP for Manus, Ron Knight, told The Australian that while he was aware of the provision for an annual review — which was especially strongly sought by Mr O’Neill — “there was no mention of a deadline. It was open-ended as far as I know”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He asked: “If it was for a year only, then why the huge infrastructure development organised and funded by Canberra?” Labor Defence spokesman Richard Marles, who has built close links with PNG and helped negotiate the Manus deal, said it was made very clear in 2013, and remained Labor policy afterwards, that anyone who came to Australia by <b>asylum</b>-seeker vessel after July 2013 would not be resettled in Australia. “The significance of the agreement was that it really took Australia off the table” for people-smuggling. “It more than any other decision taken by an Australian government saw a decline in the number of people seeking to come to Australia by <b>asylum</b>-seeker vessel,” he told Sky News.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Rudd told ABC radio yesterday: “It’s a 12-month agreement and within it, it contained quite explicit provisions in terms of humane treatment of <b>asylum</b> seekers in terms of education, housing, employment opportunities and the rest.Frankly, the bottom line is these poor folks should have been resettled in either New Zealand or Australia or elsewhere three years ago. Cases could be easily assessed within a 12-month period, and the fact that it’s gone on for so long is plainly unacceptable.” The official wording of the agreement states PNG “undertakes for an initial 12 month period to accept unauthorised maritime arrivals for processing and, if successful in their application for <b>refugee</b> status, resettlement.” It says: “This program will be for 12 months and will be subject to review on an annual basis through the Australia-Papua New Guinea Ministerial Forum.” Labor’s immigration spokesman Shayne Neumann said the party’s policy on <b>asylum</b> seekers would never put the people smugglers back in business: “Labor believes in strong borders, offshore processing, regional resettlement and <b>boat</b> turn-backs when it is safe to do so because we know it saves lives at sea. This is the policy agreed on at the ALP National Conference in 2015, the policy we took to the 2016 Federal election, and our ongoing position. Manus Island and Nauru were set up as regional transit processing facilities but have become places of indefinite detention under the Abbott-Turnbull government.”Immigration Minister Peter Dutton said: “Kevin Rudd was either misleading the Australian public four years ago or he’s misleading the public today. It shows me Kevin Rudd and Labor continue to dig deeper and deeper when it comes to this issue.’’</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">More than a dozen motions set for debate, and backed by the left, call for the immediate closure of the Nauru and Manus Island centres and the transfer, process­ing and resettlement of all refug­ees in Australia, New Zealand or Canada.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The motions underscore how divided the party is on <b>refugee</b> policy given most rank-and-file members, parliamentary candid­ates and many MPs oppose the current policy, which largely mirrors that of the government, adopted at Labor’s national confer­ence in 2015.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Former Labor prime minister Kevin Rudd has claimed that refu­gees at Manus Island should have been resettled in Australia three years ago. But his statement that the agreement with Papua New Guinea was intended to last just 12 months has come under fire, given that he said in 2013 that illegal <b>asylum</b>-seekers would “never be resettled in Australia”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Members of the opposition frontbench aligned to the NSW left are bound by the policy but some factional members expect them to back the push to abandon the policy or abstain from voting.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The faction’s senior members include Tanya Plibersek, Anth­o­ny Albanese, Doug Cameron, Linda Burney and Stephen Jones.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The NSW left — one of the party’s largest factions — has made the abolition of the party’s <b>asylum</b>-seeker policy, advocated by the internal lobby group Labor for Refugees, one of its “priorities” for state conference.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Given the decision by the Papua New Guinea Supreme Court and the PNG government’s decision to close Manus Island, NSW Labor calls on Shayne Neumann, Bill Shorten and the federal parliamentary caucus to support the immediate closure of Nauru and Manus Island detention centres,” says the motion.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It also calls for “the immediate transfer of all refugees and asylum­-seekers from Nauru and Manus Island to the Australian mainland, for fair processing under Australian law”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It adds that resettlement of “confirmed refugees” should be facilitated in Australia, Canada or New Zealand after attempted family reunification. The motion further calls on Mr Shorten in government to “seek meaningful negotiations with the Indonesian, Malaysian and other appropriate governments in order to combat the people-smuggling trade, and with the New Zealand government in relation to their offer to resettle refugees currently at Manus Island and Nauru”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Although many more motions from local branches echo these proposals, they will be strongly opposed by the domin­ant right faction at the Sydney Town Hall conference on July 29 and 30.The push by the left has angered­ the spokesman for immig­ration and border protection, Mr Neumann. “Federal Labor’s position is clear,” he told The Australian. “We will never let the people-smugglers back in business. Labor believes in strong borders, offshore processing, regional resettlement and <b>boat</b> turnbacks when it’s safe to do so because we know it saves lives.”</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Immigration was once about nation building. Now it's part of our rising national obsession with security.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One of the ways governments try to signal their changing priorities to voters is to change the names of ministerial portfolios and government agencies.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Equally, over the years, contentious issues have been "elevated" to cabinet from time to time - like housing, or small business - only to disappear again as political pressure dissipates or moves on.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Since 1945, there has always been a minister for immigration. Other labels have been attached to the title over the years, of course: labour, citizenship, multicultural affairs and, in more recent times, border protection. It has been overwhelmingly a cabinet-level position, and certainly a senior role in cabinet since the end of the Fraser government.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">You will notice it was not a title that existed prior to 1945 like, say, Customs, which goes right back to 1901.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This reflects the fact the portfolio grew out of the post-war "populate or perish" nation-building ambitions of the Chifley government when, in the aftermath of the Second World War, a country that had recently been confronted by the spectre of invasion suddenly decided it would be a good idea to become a lot bigger than it was.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"If Australians have learned one lesson from the Pacific War, it is surely that we cannot continue to hold our island continent for ourselves and our dependants, unless we greatly increase our numbers," the first Immigration Minister, Arthur Calwell, told <span class="companylink">Parliament</span> in 1945.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But times have moved on and, some time next year, the title of Minister for Immigration will be subsumed into the Turnbull government's new super portfolio of Home Affairs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The downgrading of immigration is a process that was already well under way when the old Department of Immigration was merged with Customs a couple of years ago and the old nation-building culture of the old Immigration Department was put out to pasture as so yesteryear.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Now we're not getting all sentimental and yesteryear here. But amid all the noise this week about the pluses and minuses of Peter Dutton 's important new job, the further downgrading of the apparent importance of immigration in the list of government priorities went largely unremarked.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Immigration, it seems, is becoming nothing more than a subset of our obsession with national security: keeping out scary people.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Why does it matter? Well, because the downgrading reflects the spooky silence around all issues to do with population that has developed in our political debate over the past decade, and which only becomes more conspicuous with this week's move.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yes, there might be an ongoing sound and light show about keeping out <b>asylum</b> seekers who arrive by <b>boat</b>. There may be a cultural war that flares and subsides regularly about Islam, and lots of talk about "protecting Australians" from terrorists.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But the role our migration program plays in the economy? Well, not so much. This is despite the fact the number of people coming to Australia, who want to have somewhere to live, and a job or a place at one of our learning institutions, has a huge impact on both our economic growth and on the demands for housing and infrastructure.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Just ask the property developers who keenly watch the trends in migration numbers. Just consider how hot an issue housing prices are or inadequate transport infrastructure for both federal and state governments.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Migration affects these hugely yet there are often only oblique references to the fact that our population is growing at a cracking pace which requires more housing and infrastructure. It sometimes feels as if the shortages of both are being discussed against a static population backdrop, or amid a sea of mysterious foreign investors who don't actually live here. Migration pops its head up in other ways, of course - notably in the 457 visa crackdown and changes to permanent residency rules - announced in April (which the government had to subsequently overhaul after an outcry from business and academia about the brain drain that might flow from the original changes).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We can file that particular issue under "migration - threat to jobs", though noting that Dutton also linked the changes at the time to national security and Islamic terror.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The migration numbers everyone used to look at were the annual planning figure for the migration program and the annual net overseas migration (NOM) figure.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The planning figure has been at a record high level since 2012-13, and in 2017-18 is around 186,515 places, and net overseas migration stood at around 197,500 at the end of 2016. The Department of Immigration and Border Protection is forecasting NOM to increase to 246,700 for the year ending June 2020.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It's all become a bit more complicated because there are now so many temporary migrants - either students or 457 visa holders in Australia - as opposed to permanent migrants, and these groups have not been subject to any overall cap, and the overall number of temporary migrants to Australia who are actually here in any one year may be a lot higher.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But whatever the numbers, migration continues to play a huge role in the economic growth rate in Australia, yet politicians are now running scared of talking about it in these terms, even as many of them happily scaremonger about refugees and terrorists.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The aversion to talking about the number of people coming back to Australia particularly stems back to Kevin Rudd 's advocacy of a "Big Australia" and forecasts that there would be 36 million people in Australia by 2050.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This sounded like a very big number and suggested a huge expansion of our population via migration. (In fact, it only represented the number that would be reached if current trends continued.)</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Since the time of this debate in 2010, the population has already grown from around 22 million to 24 million.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The reality is that neither major party knows exactly how to frame a discussion about our population without igniting ugliness from various quarters who might jump in with their own agendas.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It's not even somewhere that our favourite Waste of Political Space, Tony Abbott , has been prepared to go. He just goes on his shameless way now.</p>

Wednesday marks the fourth anniversary of former prime minister Kevin Rudd 's announcement, alongside PNG Prime Minister Peter O'Neill, of a <b>refugee</b> deal that would ensure "any <b>asylum</b> seeker who arrives in Australia by <b>boat</b> will have no chance of being settled in Australia as refugees". Since then, subsequent Coalition governments have looked to strike resettlement deals with third countries, including Cambodia and the US, to shift people in detention off the islands. And the <b>refugee</b> swap deal with the US looks to have been delayed again, though the Turnbull government insists it remains on track. Meanwhile, the Manus Island detention facility is due to close on October 31 after the PNG Supreme Court ruled it illegal, and the refugees still using the facility face an uncertain future.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Webb, who has visited the Manus centre three times, said four years since the deal was announced - and after violence and shootings on the island - "enough is well and truly enough". "Every single person warehoused by our government on Manus and Nauru must immediately be evacuated to Australia. If people then go to America or New Zealand - fine. But they can't be left in danger or limbo any longer." A report from the law centre to be released on Wednesday highlights statistics from the Department of Immigration for 2017 that show a critical or major incident in the Manus Island camp or surrounding community has taken place almost every day. The report argues that the Department's own statistics "make crystal clear that conditions on Manus remain truly desperate, harmful and abusive". "[Mr] Rudd had some political challenges when he announced the deal and, yes, [Malcolm] Turnbull will surely face some if he tries to end it. But ending it is the right thing to do."</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A ship crewed by anti-Islam, anti-migrant activists dubbed the "hipsters of the far right" is about to take to the Mediterranean on a mission to flout European law and send would-be refugees back to Libya.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph"> Defend Europe crowdfunded more than $100,000 to pay for its mission, which one of its backers said was partly inspired by an Australian government ad campaign against <b>asylum</b>-seeker boats.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We want, as Australia did with its 'No Way' program, to close the deadly freeway that is the Mediterranean," said Clement Galant from Generation Identity, the youth wing of a French nationalist group, in an interview with the right-wing Minute magazine.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He was apparently referring to the Department of Immigration and Border Protection's $2-million-a-year 'No Way' online ad campaign, which has run since 2014 and explains Australia's border control policy for foreigners.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Every day thousands of Africans or Orientals pile up on makeshift boats to cross the Mediterranean. Every day, so-called 'humanitarian' organisations help them to reach Europe," Galant said. "Facing the rising waves of the people of the south, Generation Identity decided to act."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Identitarians" from France, Germany, Austria and Italy say they will monitor the actions of NGO rescue ships, and will return migrants to Africa.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Their stance is in spite of the principle of non-refoulement, which is part of <span class="companylink">EU</span> law. The <span class="companylink">EU border agency</span> Frontex considers Libya too dangerous for refugees to legally send them back there.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Defend Europe's <b>boat</b> will join an increasingly chaotic scene in the south Mediterranean, where about a dozen search and rescue ships crewed by humanitarian NGOs have been accused of encouraging people smugglers, prompting Italian authorities to impose a new code of conduct for NGO rescues.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">About 85,000 migrants arrived in Italy by <b>boat</b> in the first six months of 2017, 21 per cent more than in the same period in 2016.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">More than 2200 people have died attempting the crossing this year, according to the <span class="companylink">International Organisation for Migration</span>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A European official familiar with the situation told <span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span> that last year rescues in the Mediterranean were closer to Italy, but now they were happening much closer to the border between Libyan and international waters.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Smugglers were "including the presence of NGO boats in their business model", the official said, and putting migrants to sea in ever more overloaded and underequipped boats - some without engines.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"They are taking advantage of the fact that every vessel that sees another in trouble has to rescue them. You have a rubber <b>boat</b> the size of a small van - they used to put 100 people on it, now they put on 150."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Defend Europe said its aim was to "overwatch the doings of the NGOs, disrupt the human trafficking rings ... and intervene when something illegal happens".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph"> <span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span> attempted to contact Defend Europe but did not receive a reply.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Martin Sellner, from the group's Austria wing, said they weren't there to "engage in any sea battles" and stressed they would not "disturb or disrupt any real saving operation" and would "stick to all maritime laws".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In May, however, Defend Europe tried to block a <span class="companylink">Doctors Without Borders</span> rescue vessel from leaving an Italian port.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A spokesman from anti-extremist group Hope Not Hate, which has been investigating Defend Europe and its backers, said: "The identitarians ... have a history of direct action confrontations, including occupying mosques."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph"> Defend Europe raised money for its mission on WeSearchr, a crowdfunding site founded by alt-right journalist and activist Charles Johnson, who was banned from <span class="companylink">Twitter</span> after calling for the "taking out" of a civil rights activist.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">According to marine tracking data, the <b>boat</b> chartered by Defend Europe was approaching the Suez canal on Monday, on its way from Djibouti. It is due to arrive in Catania, Italy, later this week.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Gillard government's moves to reopen the Manus Island detention centre in late 2012 saw Australia spend $358.77 million on operating and capital costs for the two centres.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the 16 years since John Howard declared “we will decide who comes to this country and the circumstances in which they come’’, border protection has become more crucial than ever to Australia and around the world. After the arrival of 50,000 <b>asylum</b>-seekers on 800 vessels and the deaths of 1200 people in the Rudd-Gillard years, the Coalition deserves immense credit for the fact that no people-smuggler vessel has reached Australia successfully for more than 1000 days.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There is no room for complacency, however. Operation Sovereign Borders commander Stephen Osborne warned recently that people-smugglers were ready to retest Australia’s resolve with smaller vessels, carrying fewer than eight people and using treacherous sea routes in an effort to elude detection.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For years, co-operation between Australia and Indonesia has been crucial in stamping out the criminal trade of people-smuggling. This is why President Joko Widodo’s willingness to allow alleged people-smuggler Ahmad Zia Alizadah to be extradited from Indonesia by <span class="companylink">Australian Federal Police</span> to face prosecution here for people-smuggling is an important sign of the strength of our bilateral relationship, especially on security and border protection. The decision sends a strong message to those considering a resumption of the deadly trade — culprits will face the full force of the law.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, Immigration Minister Peter Dutton and Justice Minister Michael Keenan said last week, Indonesian authorities had recently arrested a number of people for smuggling offences. Australia, they emphasised, appreciated Indonesia’s “determined efforts to bring people-smugglers to justice”. Mr Ahmad, believed to be an Afghan, is the ninth person extradited from ­Indonesia to face people-smuggling charges since 2008. The allegations against him show why authorities in both nations must remain vigilant. Today, he will be formally charged with co-ordinating four illegal <b>boat</b> arrivals, allegedly involving more than 260 people and payments of up to $US10,000 per person, dating back to 2010.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Under its effective border protection policies, the Turnbull government is ensuring no <b>asylum</b>-seeker currently housed on Manus Island or Nauru will live in Australia. In clearing the backlog of those awaiting resettlement, our agreement with the US under Barack Obama, being honoured by Donald Trump, however reluctantly, is part of our immigration strategy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After claims at the weekend that US officials screening <b>asylum</b>-seekers on Nauru were on a “go slow’’, Ms Bishop’s assurance that the process was proceeding was reassuring. The US has reached its <b>refugee</b> quota for the year but it ticks over again on October 1.Australia’s orderly immigration and <b>refugee</b> programs have taken hard work to put together and keep on track. Despite derision from the Left, Australia can be proud, as Ms Bishop says, of settling more than 865,000 refugees after 1945. As a wealthy nation we should be generous in welcoming people in need and deciding who comes and in what circumstances.</p>

That first <b>refugee</b> journey turned out to be a short one, ending in a month-long stay back in a Vietnamese prison. </p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After her parents rescued her from jail, Huynh's determined family set off again and this time made it to a Malaysian island, from which an appeal to Australia for <b>asylum</b> was successful.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Huynh made the most of the opportunities afforded her in Australia, choosing to study medicine and then specialise in ophthalmology. </p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She chose ophthalmology after seeing a Christian Blind Mission promotional calendar outlining the work the charity undertook, helping to restore the sight of people living in third-world countries.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Today, as well as being part of a team of specialist doctors and surgeons at Sydney's South West Vision Institute, Dr Huynh regularly travels to Vietnam and Cambodia with Australian Health Humanitarian Aid (AHHA) to carry out sight-restoring cataract surgery on patients who could never afford the surgery themselves. </p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">During each visit, Dr Huynh and other volunteer surgeons perform about 600 cataract operations across six days of surgery, which helps people who are blind and dependent on family to regain their vision and independence. </p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"In Australia, people get treatment long before cataracts get to the stage of serious blindness. It is a relatively simple procedure - it takes about half an hour - and even though we are treating very, very bad cases [overseas], the miracle is that they can see again," Dr Huynh says. </p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Many South West Vision Institute specialists undertake charity work, as well as research and publish in their expert eye health fields. </p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dr Huynh says the medical team of subspecialty ophthalmologists brings this dedication and commitment to their day-to-day work, which results in satisfied customers and repeat referrals from GPs and optometrists. </p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Because we are leaders in our fields but a younger practice than the usual, I think we are in tune with the attitudes of now," she says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We treat patients as part of the team; we don't dictate to them what we are going to do and while we offer the best treatments available, we also consult and tailor treatment to their needs." </p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy are the four primary conditions that result in patients presenting at the institute. However, the institute's range of expertise, both medical and surgical, means the team can treat any part of ocular anatomy, from the front of the eye to the back. </p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dr Huynh says she has noticed a "wave of younger people coming through who rub their eyes because of allergies". </p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"They can get keratoconus, where the cornea at the front of the eye becomes distorted and stretched, so over time their vision becomes distorted, but they often think it is just their glasses that are the problem." </p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Without treatment, the cornea can become so distorted a patient may need a corneal transplant. This can be prevented if picked up early by corneal collagen cross-linking, which is performed regularly at the institute. </p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He appeared briefly in Perth Magistrate’s Court yesterday but his case was adjourned because a Farsi or Bahasa Indonesia interpreter was not available.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The charges were not read to Mr Alizadah and prosecutors indicated a bail application would be strongly opposed.</p>

He defended the time it took to extradite the man after his arrest by Indonesian police in 2015.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
Nancy Pelosi, leader of the Democrats in the <span class="companylink">US House of Representatives</span>, was recently asked whether the Democrats could stake out a clearer contrast to right-wing economics, after a <span class="companylink">Harvard University</span> study showed 51 per cent of Americans between the ages of 18 and 29 no longer supported the system of capitalism.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Pelosi was visibly taken aback. "I thank you for your question," she said, "but I'm sorry to say we're capitalists, and that's just the way it is."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Pelosi's response, I think, defines the underlying paralysis of politics in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Thinking outside the square, and accepting that governments need to deal with changing economic realities, surely a debate about introducing a Bill of Rights, to encompass what Australians expect from government and what government can reasonably provide, is overdue in Australia.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Ahmad, thought to be an Afghan, is not accused of selling every berth on all four of the boats.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The people-smuggling trade was flourishing by the time of his alleged crimes, and statistics published by the Australian parliament show 2010 was then a record year — 6555 people arrived by <b>boat</b>. Even in 2001, the year of the Tampa crisis, 5516 arrived by <b>boat</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The first <b>boat</b> on which Mr Ahmad is accused of placing ­<b>asylum</b>-seekers was intercepted near Christmas Island on February 1, 2010, with 171 people onboard­.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yesterday’s extradition is not common. Despite the arrival of 50,000-odd <b>asylum</b>-seekers dur­ing­ the last Labor government, Mr Ahmad is only the ninth person extradited from ­Indonesia to face charges in Australia over people­-smuggling since 2008.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Indonesian President Joko Widodo approved the extradition and Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, Justice Minister Michael Keenan and Immigration Minister Peter Dutton view Mr Ahmad’s extradition as a sign of the strength and effectiveness of the relationship between Australian and Indon­esian law-enforcement agencies.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They point to recent arrests by Indonesian authorities for people-smuggling offences as “demonstrating Indonesia’s strong contri­b­ution to disrupting and dis­mantling the people-smuggling trade”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Australian Border Force, established by the Liberal gov­ernment after its election in ­September 2013, recently marked 1000 days since a successful ­people-smuggling venture.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The hardline tactics employed by Border Force authorities came after two years of <b>asylum boat</b> arrivals­ that surpassed the record set in 2010.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In 2012 there were 17,204 arriv­als and in 2013 it was 20,587, according to statistics published by the Australian parliament. Not all boats made it and the Coalition says more than 1200 women, men and children drowned.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Border authorities recently revealed­ they face a new wave of people-smuggling operations, described­ as “micro-ventures”, which are designed to penetrate the naval barricade with smaller, less-detectable teams using more perilous sea routes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In what Border Protection officials claimed was the emergence of a new model designed to test the Turnbull government’s resolve, four of the eight intercepts at sea since February last year carried fewer than eight people.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">London | Malcolm Turnbull has staunchly defended his government's policy direction against critics such as Tony Abbott, saying Liberal Party founder Robert Menzies never intended the party to be conservative and that its focus should be the "sensible centre".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In an address to Britain's most influential centre-right think-tank, the Policy Exchange, Mr Turnbull also fended off claims from the left that he had lurched too far right on issues such as border policy.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull made a similar point to one Mr Abbott made in a controversial speech in Prague last September - that Europe could learn from Australia's tough approach to <b>boat</b> people. The Prime Minister also hinted at more changes to come in national security by saying terrorism was now "the starkest and most urgent enemy of freedom", the preservation of which is a core Liberal Party value. He said "freedom, liberty, the rule of law, and indeed national sovereignty, are currently under threat".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is known the government is considering combining the national security roles of various departments into a single British-style <span class="companylink">Home Office</span> and Mr Turnbull is using his time in London to study counter-terrorism approaches.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull's only speech of his week abroad was in response to being awarded the Policy Exchange's 2017 Disraeli prize, in honour of two-time British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli who, in the 19th century, helped found Britain's Conservative Party.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Linking Disraeli to Menzies, Mr Turnbull noted "Menzies went to great pains not to call his new centre-right party a conservative party".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Rather, he described our party as the Liberal Party which he firmly anchored in the centre of Australian politics," the Prime Minister said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"He wanted to stand apart from the big money, business establishment politics of traditional conservative parties, as well as from the socialist tradition of the labour movement embodied in the Australian Labor Party.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Menzies said: 'We took the name 'Liberal' because we were determined to be a progressive party, willing to make experiments, in no sense reactionary but believing in the individual, his right and his enterprise, and rejecting the socialist panacea'."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull said Menzies formed the party in 1944 when the world was fighting fascism, the authoritarian left of then-ally the Soviet Union held no appeal, and the Great Depression - a failure of "laissez faire capitalism" - was still fresh in people's memories.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"So classical liberalism was out of fashion, too. The sensible centre was the place to be. It remains the place to be," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In awarding Mr Turnbull the Disraeli prize, presented by British Home Secretary Amber Rudd, the think-tank noted Mr Turnbull's stances on various issues "have brought him into tension with more conservative-leaning members of his party over the years".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Seeking to tear down Mr Turnbull's leadership, Mr Abbott and a handful of MPs, backed by a core of conservative media commentators, have rounded on the government as Labor lite, singling out policies such as the bank tax, the mimicking of Labor's Gonski schools funding package, and plans to introduce a clean energy target.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On the other side, Mr Turnbull has faced criticism from the left for being too hard on border protection or breaching civil liberties with citizenship changes and proposals to access encrypted data to fight terrorism.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But he told the Policy Exchange that Menzies, like Disraeli, stood ultimately for freedom of the individual and "in order to be free a person must first be safe". "Security and freedom are frequently presented as binary opposites - as if there exists a universe in which you could have one without the other," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"But these two principles - prioritising public safety and maintaining individual freedoms - are not mutually exclusive. They can be, in fact, they must be, mutually reinforcing."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On his push for authorities to be able to access encrypted data, which he drove at the G20 this week, Mr Turnbull said "the privacy of a terrorist can never be more important than the safety of the public".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government was recently handed a report by former diplomat Michael L'Estrange on reshaping its national security apparatus and will respond before the end of the year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"It is in the very pursuit of freedom that we seek a stronger role for the state in protecting citizens against the terrorist threat. By fighting terrorism - with proportionate means - we are defending liberal values," Mr Turnbull said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In such an era of rapid change, "we must constantly review and improve the policies and laws that will best keep our people safe".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull also defended his adoption of harsh border policies which involve zero tolerance to anyone arriving by <b>boat</b>. He said Europe could learn from how Australia has tackled immigration and that border control was a national security issue.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"As Europe grapples today with unsustainable inflows of migrants and <b>asylum</b> seekers, the Australian experience offers both a cautionary tale and the seeds of a potential solution," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The lesson is clear: weak borders fragment social cohesion, drain public revenue, raise community concerns about national security, and ultimately undermine the consensus required to sustain high levels of immigration and multiculturalism. </p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">on the road to a career in State Parliament</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A t times in the Lower House chamber of State Parliament, Paul Papalia almost seems a man ill at ease with the politics around him.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A fit and solidly built 54-year-old, Papalia appears more like an action man uncomfortable with the confines of a suit and a tie and the games politicians play.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is perhaps unsurprising, then, that for Papalia politics very nearly never happened at all.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In 2006, Papalia had just left the navy after serving 26 years in a variety of roles and doing two tours of conflicts in Iraq.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While promotions beckoned, the demands and best interests of two young boys convinced Papalia and his wife, Gillian, that their future lay at home in WA.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Papalia was embarking on a life as a small business owner when fate intervened and the unlikely politician got a shot at the safe Labor seat of Peel, which had been left vacant by Norm Marlborough after the Corruption and Crime Commission investigations into lobbyists Brian Burke and Julian Grill.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And in a twist of fate, the man who convinced him to run was none other than Premier Mark McGowan, a minister in the Gallop government at the time.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“My wife owned a couple of laundromats because we were looking to try to get into small business and look after ourselves,” Papalia tells Agenda . “We just decided we would settle down and not shift the boys. Politics was unanticipated, though.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Mark rang me and asked whether I’d consider preselection.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I said, ‘how long do we have to think about it’ and he said 24 hours.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I’d always valued politics.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I’d never been involved in politics before but I valued the system.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“My wife and I viewed it as an obligation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“There was an opportunity to become involved and make a contribution, so I felt obliged to have a go at it.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The sense of duty that spurred Papalia into politics had also sustained him through more than two decades as a member of Australia’s armed forces.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Papalia says it was initially adventure that drove him into the navy, which he joined as a skinny 15-year-old looking to get out and see the world.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">What followed was a distinguished career in which he took on some of the more dangerous roles the navy had to offer.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After gaining his basic training and qualifications at naval college, the Bunbury product became a seaman, deploying to South-East Asia, the Pacific and around Australia aboard various warships.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In 1987, Papalia became a clearance diver — a highly trained fighting and counterterrorism force — before passing the selection course for the Special Air Service Regiment.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Although he never served in the SASR, Papalia served on his first overseas tour when he was part of a UN Special Commission sent to Iraq to destroy chemical weapons, for which he was awarded the Conspicuous Service Cross and a Land Commander Australia Commendation. Over the coming few years, Papalia fulfilled other roles, including commanding a clearance diving team in WA and taking charge of patrol <b>boat</b> HMAS Bunbury.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He would also get married, move to Sydney and have his first child.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But it was not until 2001 that the first fires of politics flickered in Papalia.I t was during the notorious “children overboard” saga, when the then Howard Federal government alleged <b>asylum</b> seekers jettisoned their children in a bid to gain entry to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">According to Papalia, the affair left a sour taste in the mouth of many in the navy, who felt the incident had been manipulated for political purposes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">By the time Australia defied a <span class="companylink">UN</span> resolution to join the US war effort against Iraq over an alleged weapons of mass destruction program, Papalia said the disillusion was almost complete.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I was probably politicised more by the Iraq War,” he recalls.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The commitment to the Iraq war was made on what was subsequently confirmed to be false intelligence. Beyond that, the children overboard incident and the manipulation and scapegoating of navy personnel in that was pretty personal.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I’d been a patrol <b>boat</b> captain and I knew people and I knew what happened and I knew there were false claims made.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The manipulation offended me.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Despite his misgivings, Papalia describes the tour of Iraq as a formative time. He was in one of only two units from the Australian Defence Force to be part of the initial invasion in 2003, driving in from northern Kuwait to the port city of Um Qasr with “missiles being fired over our way”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Clearance dives were done to defuse naval mines and then the work shifted inland to ordinance disposal in a bid to stop Iraqi bombs being used as improvised explosive devices.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Even more hazardous was the task of disposing of chemical weapons.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Papalia recalls the sheer number and amount of chemical weapons the Iraqi regime had stockpiled was frightening.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“You could have a pinprick-size bubble of liquid sarin on you in the right place and you’d be dead in 90 seconds,” he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“But mustard gas — there were guys I worked with, Iraqis, where you could see the scars from their mustard burns.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It’s like World War I stuff with the big blisters and the horrible painful things.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">More than a decade after Iraq and his time in the navy, it is now Papalia himself in charge of making the political decisions, albeit at a State rather than Federal level.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After 81/2 grinding years in opposition, when Papalia’s newly named seat of Warnbro became one of the few Labor strongholds in the State, he was elevated to McGowan’s first ministry as one of the Premier’s most trusted lieutenants.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A major part of his brief as the State’s inaugural Defence Issues Minister is to run WA’s pitch for a greater share of Australia’s multibillion-dollar defence shipbuilding and maintenance work.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For Papalia, the task is a personal as well as professional one.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The former navy man says WA’s strategic location alone, occupying a third of Australia’s coastline and positioned on the Indian Ocean, should demand a greater presence of shipbuilding capability.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But more than that, he argues the quality of WA’s shipbuilding facilities and the companies that use them offer compelling reasons why the State deserves a bigger slice of the action.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On top of this, he wants WA to have more of a say in where Australia’s armed forces are located and how decisions are made more broadly.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We have a lot more capability than we have been accorded a share,” he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“That’s a bit of a parochial view but you could argue, and I do, that it’s in the national interest that WA has a robust defence industry to support the ADF’s activities in its key operational areas, which are much closer to Western Australia than they are to any other State.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Although he acknowledges that his success or otherwise as a minister will be judged by his ability to win WA a bigger share of the defence dollar, Papalia is phlegmatic about the broader political situation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Duty, and experience, have taught him that much.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Politics is a challenging environment but even after 10 years I am absolutely convinced that we have a wonderful political system,” he says.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I was probably politicised more by the Iraq War. Defence Issues Minister Paul Papalia</p>

We were the third <b>boat</b> of Vietnamese refugees to ­arrive, landing in 1976.

She was so lovely and smiling, very patient and her heart so big. I ­always knew where she was teaching, but I wasn’t confident to contact her. I sent Catherine to All Hallows’ School (in inner Brisbane) because I read Miss Adele was associated with that school.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I went to Oxley High for grades 10, 11 and 12, then did a legal secretary course and another in office administration.

Tony Abbott has again accused European leaders of failing to secure their borders, with the continent proving “incapable” of taking decisive action even in the face of increasing terror attacks on the mainland and in Britain.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">With Malcolm Turnbull to arrive in Hamburg, Germany, this afternoon for the G20 leaders’ summit, Mr Abbott told The Australian that Europe had done little to solve its border issues since he controversially warned two years ago of a “disaster waiting to happen”.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">National security and a two-year wave of terrorist attacks across Europe is set to dominate what is normally an economic meeting of world leaders, including those from the US, Russia and China.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Prime Minister will push the case for forcing social media companies whose encryption services are exploited by terrorist and criminal networks to co-operate with authorities.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Mr Abbott, Mr Turnbull’s predecessor, said the deteriorating situation in Europe would require individual nations to take action to stem the flow of Syrian refugees, who are still able to cross into Europe through porous borders.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Germany, the host nation for the G20 this year, reintroduced border controls in May, effectively reversing an open-border policy that has seen 1.1 million Syrian refugees enter the country since 2015.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The <span class="companylink">EU</span> itself seems incapable of taking decisive action on this subject,” Mr Abbot told The Australian yesterday. “So far, the <span class="companylink">EU</span> has failed ... this is one of the problems, it has not found an effective answer to this problem.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“A European solution has not been forthcoming. The only ­people that will be able to solve it are national governments with whatever allies they can find.” Mr Abbott said little had been done to address the fundamental national security issues facing ­Europe but Australia should use its border control model to argue the case for Europe-wide ­action.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It’s good that Malcolm is going to the G20 — our border protection policies are thus far the only successful examples of a country that has managed to stop a large flow of unauthorised arrivals by <b>boat</b>,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Countries that lose control are at risk of peaceful invasion. ­Obviously, it is an ongoing disaster for them.” Austria, Denmark, Sweden and Norway have also reintroduced border control measures, on a temporary basis, to stop the flow of displaced people.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In October 2015, Mr Abbott courted controversy when he warned Europe that its “compassion” towards refugees would be a “catastrophic error”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“All countries that say ‘Anyone who gets here can stay here’ are now in peril, given the scale of the population movements starting to be seen,” he said at the time.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“There are tens — perhaps hundreds — of millions of people, living in poverty and danger, who might readily seek to enter a Western country if the opportunity is there. Who could blame them?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Yet no country or continent can open its borders to all-comers without fundamentally weakening itself. This is the risk that the countries of Europe now run through misguided altruism.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The countries of Europe, while absolutely obliged to support the countries neighbouring the Syrian conflict, are more than entitled to control their borders against those who are no longer fleeing a conflict but seeking a better life.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“This means turning boats around, for people coming by sea. It means denying entry at the border, for people with no legal right to come. And it means establishing camps for people who currently have nowhere to go.“It will require some force; it will require massive logistics and expense; it will gnaw at our consciences — yet it is the only way to prevent a tide of humanity surging through Europe.”</p>

When the <b>Refugee</b> Review Tribunal examined his case in 2013, it found he had presented inconsistent evidence, displayed little understanding of Christianity despite converting while in Australia and overstated the dangers he would face in Iran.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Gholizadeh is able to appeal to the minister again but a spokesman for the Department of Immigration and Border Protection said he would have to provide "new substantive information or demonstrate a significant change in [his] circumstances" to be considered.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The department spokesman said rejected <b>asylum</b> seekers were "expected to make arrangements to depart Australia".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Gholizadeh says his bridging visa is about to expire, making his immediate future uncertain.

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">People-smugglers are alert for signs of weakness in policy</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The boats that people-smugglers send towards Australia are smaller, with fewer passengers aboard, than was the case a few years ago, according to Operation Sovereign Borders commander Stephen Osborne, who was quoted in this newspaper yesterday. Also noteworthy is an increase in the number of smuggling operations disrupted before boats can embark. And we reported that 771 unlawful arrivals have been turned back since Operation Sovereign Borders began in December 2013; the numbers have tailed off since mid-2015.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It’s possible to read this state of affairs as evidence that Australia, by and large, has broken the business model of the people-smugglers, who struggle to launch bigger (and more profitable) boats, whose operations are broken up at an early stage and whose no doubt dissatisfied customers are intercepted and sent back. However, Air Vice-Marshal ­Osborne sees the small <b>boat</b> trend as a sign of a new kind of people-smuggling venture. “We believe that they are thinking about making smaller targets … less easy to find, less easy to detect,” he said. “They are definitely testing a new model.” Experience certainly shows that authorities must remain vigilant. Demand for the people-smugglers’ product — the hope of entry to a First World nation — remains strong. And it is true that people-smugglers make a careful study of our border security policy and activities with a view to probing for weakness and adapting their market pitch and operations. It’s probably the case that the success of Operation Sovereign Borders has led to a degree of public complacency.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It’s not that the catastrophic policy failure of the Rudd-Gillard years has been forgotten. The 50,000 unlawful arrivals, the 1200 (at least) dead at sea, the overflowing detention centres, the troubling social and economic consequences still being played out — all of this is widely known in mainstream Australia. Even so, the restoration of border control by the Abbott-Turnbull governments has been such a success that minds inevitably turn to other problems, of which there isn’t a shortage.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So, we need a regular reminder, and yesterday there was one from former prime minister Tony Abbott who, at a <span class="companylink">Centre for Independent Studies</span> function, cited his administration’s achievement in stopping “uncontrolled people flows into our country that, in different circumstances, could have become an existential threat”. Also yesterday Immigration Minister Peter Dutton urged disaffected conservative voters to back the government “if they want to support work I’m doing in border protection and national security”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It does pay to have a credible hawk — such as Mr Dutton or his predecessor Scott Morrison — in the immigration portfolio. Successful policy requires a minister who is firm and resourceful, and seen to be so.Border control underpins national security and is one of the preconditions for successful social integration within a multicultural Australia. It is difficult for authorities to detect security risks among unlawful arrivals who have destroyed their travel documents. Islamic State has highlighted the potential danger by smuggling jihadis within the unregulated flow of <b>asylum</b>-seekers into Europe. As Malcolm Turnbull told this newspaper yesterday, “We have seen elsewhere what happens when nations lose control of their borders and fail to invest in the integration of migrants who arrive. We cannot afford to let this happen again.”</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In what Border Protection ­officials claim is the emergence of a new model designed to test the Turnbull government’s resolve, four of the eight intercepts at sea since February last year have carried fewer than eight people.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">However, it is the growing number of smuggling operations disrupted before boats can set sail that has led to ­intelligence ­officials believing a new model is now being tested.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Australian can reveal the number of <b>asylum</b>-seekers turned back since Operation Sovereign Borders came into force in December 2013 has reached 771 aboard 31 boats. Of those, 14 boats were turned back, the occupants of 11 vessels were taken by air to their original point of departure, and the rest subjected to ­an ­“assisted” return, which includes escorted returns and transfers to another vessel.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The commander of Operation Sovereign Borders, Stephen ­Osborne, told The Australian he was concerned not just about the number of attempts to use a new model of operation, but the intent by people-smugglers to once again test the borders.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Australian can confirm a <b>boat</b> from Sri Lanka was ­intercepted this month in an ­undisclosed region not common to people-smuggling boats. It was carrying just six people, who were flown back to Sri Lanka from Christmas Island on Monday. A government-chartered jet was used to return the Sri-Lankans to Colombo in the first “takeback” since March.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“When we look at the size of the ventures before OSB came into force in 2013, we saw heavily loaded vessels with 40 to 50 people ... they were bigger groups which were logistically difficult for people-smugglers, they took longer to launch,” Air Vice-­Marshal Osborne said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“What we are seeing in recent time, this year, are smaller ventures. We believe that they are thinking about making smaller targets … less easy to find, less easy to detect. They are definitely testing a new model.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We have had a number that have also tried but been detected and disrupted and never resulted in people getting on.” Intelligence agencies, including the <span class="companylink">Australian Secret Intelligence Service</span> as well as the <span class="companylink">Australian Federal Police</span>, have become critical in attempts to shut the new model through detecting and disrupting <b>asylum</b>-seekers ­before they take to sea.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">According to figures obtained by The Australian, in the first year of Sovereign Borders, the average number of people aboard a <b>boat</b> was 31, with vessels regularly carrying up to 50 people. This had dropped to an average of 11 since February this year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Air Vice-Marshal Osborne said the closure of Manus Island had encouraged people-smugglers to restart operations. “It has something to do with it … our classified and unclassified intelligence is saying that people-smugglers are telling refugees that the government has softened its approach to <b>asylum</b>-seekers,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We want them to get the message that we know you are changing your methods … we are alert to you, and whether you are six or 60 we will find you.” Air Vice-Marshal Osborne said the new model was even more perilous for <b>asylum</b>-seekers due to the new routes being chartered, which meant boats were at sea for weeks at a time. “We don’t want people to put their lives at risk,” he said. “It is particularly important that they are giving false hope to people. We are concerned because while it has been relatively quiet for a while, the biggest risk is complacency. People-smugglers are still there … they are certainly making life hard for us … they are still watching what is going on and there are still a lot of people willing to pay money and put their lives at risk.” Malcolm Turnbull told The Australian that this month’s <b>boat</b> arrival should serve as a reminder that people-smugglers would ­continue to test the borders and he warned of the lessons from ­countries which had lost control of their borders.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Our message is very clear — if you try and come to Australia on a <b>boat</b> you will not be allowed in,” the Prime Minister said. “People-smuggling boats that try to reach Australia will be intercepted and turned back.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“This attempted illegal <b>boat</b> ­arrival shows the people-smugglers will continue to test our resolve and our border security.“We have seen elsewhere what happens when nations lose control of their borders and fail to invest in the integration of migrants who arrive.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Tram Hoang Han will take her first step next month by reopening the Kalamunda franchise and a new, modernised Han’s Cafe in Fremantle.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After several harrowing years — in which she went from living in a $4.7 million riverside home to struggling with a $6 million debt — Mrs Han plans to make Han’s Cafe a name that will once again make her nine franchisees proud.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I can’t give up because I have children,” she said. “This is my way of trying to build a life for myself and my two children.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mrs Han’s life has seen many twists and turns. Her family fled Vietnam as <b>boat</b> people when she was eight and spent time in a <b>refugee</b> camp in Indonesia before moving to Perth.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She was 17 when she met 35-year-old Ian Han, and the pair opened their first Han’s Cafe in the city in 1995 when she was 19.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Now 42, she said their marriage problems started immediately, but there was no time to work on the relationship.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“For the first 10 years of my life with Ian we were both working 18 hours a day, seven days a week,” Mrs Han said. “We had one day off a year — Christmas Day. Looking back, I don’t think I was very happy, but I was brought up very religiously and thought that if you met someone you stuck with it.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They trained Cambodian refugees to work in their restaurants, giving many their first jobs in Australia. The pair began setting up franchises so staff could run their own business.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At the height of their success, they owned four cafes and had 16 franchises. Mrs Han stepped back from the business when she was 30 to raise their two children and Mr Han’s five children from two previous marriages.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They enjoyed the high life, with a riverfront home in Applecross and a city apartment, using the equity to invest in Cambodia. But by 2014 she was so distraught about their relationship problems, she attempted suicide and left the marriage.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Han moved to Cambodia in January 2015 where he now lives with his new partner. Left with more than $6 million in debt from their Cambodian investments, Mrs Han sold their $4.7 million home and the $1.45 million apartment. She now lives in a rental property.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">During her first week at the helm of the restaurant chain, the <span class="companylink">Fair Work Ombudsman</span> began investigating her four cafes for underpaying wages and not keeping proper records. The company was penalised $37,500.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Apart from the Fair Work investigations, I also had a tax audit and a payroll tax audit,” Mrs Han said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I was bombarded with so many problems as soon as Ian left. Due to my health, I couldn’t handle the pressure. My head was not screwed on right.”</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The cafe’s management company collapsed under $110,000 in unpaid payroll tax, but she retained the company, which receives $20,000 income each month from the nine franchises.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mrs Han is using this money to repay her debts and fines, including a separate $30,000 unpaid tax bill.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The new business model involves a more uniform experience for all the cafes, ensuring a standard quality for meals.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Even though I feel like I’ve got nothing left at all, for the first time in my life I feel a little bit free — I’ve got freedom,” Mrs Han said.</p>
